    Just bought a gopro camera and will mount it on my helmet but wondered if anyone else had used one of these and can comment on wind drag. On a full face im sure it wouldnt matter but this is just a skull cap style helmet. Just wondering if it will try to pull the helmet back or off my head when im at speed.  thanks

    Bugger!

    Might try wrist mount or something else then.

     

    Thanks

    GoPro HD are awesome cams, they also do shitlads of of different mounting options.

    They have a good mounting kit that is a giant suction cap you attach to your fuel tank, they also have a body mount vest so the camera sits on the middle of your chest.

    Yeah I took mine on the Snowy Ride last year mounted on the bars - the vision is stunning!!

    The rollbar mount kit has a much larger bracket that will fit frame rails. The handlebar seatpost mount kit is a tad too small but is good for mounting the camera too indicator stems or pillion pegs etc.

    Ive got a vid on youtube with the GoPro cameras, a mate and i got a couple of them and found mounting them central on your chest with the harness was good, it shows the bars and grips in the shot so people know what your riding.
