GoPro Under Visor Mounting

Edited Date/Time 3/4/2019 5:18pm
What is the best way to mount a GoPro under the visor of a helmet, but without actually sticking anything to the visor? I would like to refrain from mounting anything to my visor so in the event that I wreak and break my visor off my GoPro will still be attached to my helmet. The picture is an example of what I'd like.

A dango mount would be better for that pov. Not many helmets can even fit a gopro right there. My hero 4 doesnt fit in my moto 9 or other ones

Best way would be with one of the curved mounts and one of the elbows. Not sure of the exact set up, but I ran it on my old One ind helmet and IMO its the best spot for one. I can check it out for you when I get home from work.
If you talk or say anything its not hard to make out what you say. Chin bar works great for that too but I find mounting it to the chin bar puts the camera too close to the bars. Under the visor is also as close to your point of view as you can get.

Its worth noting though that depending on which GoPro and which helmet you have it make not work, or may stick out far.

Personally think its the best GoPro angle. Not sure about safety-wise though

That’s how I have it set up under the visor on my Bell Moto 9. I use the flat mount instead of the J-hook one and never really notice it being there.

I used to run the gopro under the visor but found that it blocked some of my upper range of vision, which is most important for looking ahead. It also forced me the run the visor in its highest position, and there are times when i need to run it lower (muddy conditions, for example). I've since switched to a mouth guard mount and it looks just as good IMO and you can't see it in your FOV.

I tried it and ended up with a Go-Pro shoved through my goggle lens after one particular crash. Not a good idea IMO.
