I want to put the camcorder on my helmet to record my bike trip. Can you set it up so the side of the helmet won't show up in the recorded video?

yes, there is open strap and base you can buy as add-on and strap it on top of the helmet instead of side.
205785
Yes. Unlike the GoPro, the shape of this camera allows for you to get the shot you're looking for.

i think it would be pretty hard because of its wide focal length... you would have to have a rig that let it protrude forwards a bit... at that point you might as well just put it up from...
205787
Yes you can...you can mount it to the top of your helmet or the side...when you download your video you can rotate the image if you like...

I would think that's possible depending on how far forward you put the camera on your helmet. The camera has a pretty wide angle to begin with though so it may be tough. If you use the feature where you stream to a device (smart phone/tablet) you can figure out what position works for you. On a side note I spent around $30 dollars buying a RAM mount for the bike, I do like this style better. I basically bought the individual pieces and made a mount that works for me. My goal is to do a review for the mount as well. I will include pictures and should have it up tomorrow. Good luck, MHolberg

Hi Gabriel, that already depends how you set it up on your helmet. It's a matter of placing it on the right position. -Vincent

If you search "polaroid xs100 helmet mount", there are packages available which include helmet mounting hardware. It is possible to move the camera to other mounts.

The GoPro model not the GoPro 2? I did it with the GoPro 2. I don't know if you can do it with the older models

Yes, you can take videos, but although the phone will remain in place, it will probably giggle too much if mounted on handle bars. It won't be completely stable especially if trail riding. It may giggle, but not slip.

There is Velcro tape that you attach to the helmet and base of the camera. It works very well.

Although I never have attached it to a bike helmet I would say it could be with minor mods. It comes with a helmet attachment which I am sure would work. I'm guessing you want to attach it side by side with a Go Pro camera for some sort of night photgraphy.

Hi Jeremiah, You need to get a skeleton case (open on the connection side). Check the GoPro or Amazon site to see one.

I do not have a camcorder so I can not answer truthfully. I have used my unit several times with out any problem. Would recommend this unit to anyone. You might check with your camera manual or a camera store. Sorry I could not be more help.

You would definitely need the selfie stick that go pro makes. Now. I know it has an attachment on the end to mount the camera but mounting an arm to a helmet is out of my knowledge. I'd consult YouTube. They have videos on everything ever concerning gopros. Or mount the camera to your bike or board or just hold the selfie stick.

Unfortunately, form my experience there is no way around it during recording. However, this camera has built-in editing functionality. You can stitch the snippets together into one continuous piece. It's quite easy.Then there is also the video editing software included with the camera.

Hey Alex; the camera will ask you what's your recording destination (external SD card or internal memory) so you cannot record simultaneosly into both modes. Hope this helps.

Hi Salvatore, thanks for the question. I recommend getting a proper handlebar mount for the gopro. The gorilla pod cannot grab the handlebar or bike part securely enough.

Depends on how big the helmet is..the strap on the camera is pretty long..if u put the camera on the helmet its gonna point up..so I would put it directly on your forehead not the helmet

I've tried to do some time lapse filming with my PJ650V, but I couldn't find a way to do it. None of the documentation I've found describes it.

If you have given direct battery connection, it can record vandalism at front and the rear with the motion sensor. But there is no video coverage at the sides.

I haven't even been able to get the darn thing to record. The directions are pretty much non-existent. Any tips?

I don't know about Snowboard helmets, but I never got to the point of trying out the camera, so wrapped up I was in figuring out how to mount it to my MOTORCYCLE helmet. Turns out...I can't. (Here's hoping someone else who wants the same info looks up this forum; two days after receiving mine, I arranged to return it because of this issue.) The goggle mount is useless, because it looks like it'd require me to wear the camera INSIDE the helmet. In that case, the helmet would completely block the camera...assuming there's even room to wear it there. And the other included mount, a flat mount, is no good, because, as you stated, the helmet isn't flat; mine is curved. And on the company's website, the only other mounting kits are a handlebar mount for bicycles, a mount for BICYCLE helmets, an adhesive windshield mount, and an adapter for whatever other mounts the user might already have. Even ignoring "bicycle" versus "motorcycle," the windshield and handlebar mounts are useless to me, because I want something that can record where I look, not fixed in one place on the bike. Besides, I expect to replace my helmet every so often, and most of these mounts rely on adhesives. Even the best adhesive only works the best the first time it's applied. And I SHOULDN'T have to purchase a replacement for the adhesive pad every time I change cameras. A clip, such as I use to attach my radio to my helmet (inserted between the outer shell and the inner shell), would have made a lot more sense. But no clip, and it doesn't look like the "Universal Mount Adapter" would work on that, either.... But I'm certainly not about to buy and keep something only to have to buy another accessory to make it work. Especially not when this information wasn't available on the product page....
