Could I wrap the strap around the chin bar of my full-face motorcycle helmet and use this tripod to shoot video while riding my motorcycle?

Yes. I am sure it would work but probably only on pavement. I don't think the vibration from gravel or off road would result in clear results. Go cam recommended for those types.

You could probably strap it together that way but not sure it would stay and if it did I would expect it to be very unstable.

We used it to attach to rides at Disneyland and that worked out great. Btw with gopro. Depends on how heavy and how rough the ride is, it may work ok.

Yes, as long as the strap can hold on the bar while the motorcycle is in motion, but the tripod can hold best for the light weight camera .

I think the answer would be yes, but I wonder if your head bounce from the ride would be almost too much for decent viewing comfort. I have adapted several of the various mounts supplied by GoPro for that camera to handle bars, flat surfaces, hats, etc. I think you may be better off to purchase one of the accessory kits from GoPro and make an adaption from that using glue or screws ... I know, I know, nobody wants to do that to their helmet and this strap thing just may be the trick. What the heck, it's pretty cheap, give it a try!

I need to go back to work, but your comment simply begs for one more observation. If you live in Philly and have endured this particular winter, why would you not be heading south? ... No reply necessary, but I have friends in Pennsylvania and one of them came out here to California to escape and I can honestly say that Alaska was not in her vocabulary ... never mind, sounds like a fantastic adventure and I wish you safe travels and great joy, fun and some kick-butt videos!!!

Yes, no problem. You can connect the mounting plate of your tri/monopod's head to the mounting plate of the strap

I'm sure it can. But I'm not sure I would want to be rough riding around with it mounted. I'm thinking its a larger camera and heavy.

You can, and I have. You just attached this as shown, then use the mount on the base plate and the camera's side mount to attach the neck strap. Basically the same way this wrist strap is attached to the side of the camera. And mounted this way, and slung over the shoulder, it is in the perfect position to slip your hand through the wrist strap, slide the camera up and shoot while using the neck strap for tension.

Attaching this to a head strap or helmet would be difficult, but not impossible. I definitely wouldn't try it on something like a roller coaster. GoPro has a headstrap that would probably work best for that, and it's only $10. I have clamped this onto the end of a broom stick to use like a selfie stick and it does work. You could easily do that instead of getting GoPro's selfie stick, which is a good $65-$70.

I have this tripod and have only used it once. This one has 3 different handles that control the head instead of one or two. I find it works very well for what I use it for which is taking photos. I also am use to using a video camera on a tripod but have never tried a video camera on this tripod. I think it would work just fine.

You can. I have. But most heads, complete or just the clamp, will not nest completely for closing and transport. If that doesn't bother you, and the tripod with new head fits in the case, go ahead.

NO! Definitely not sturdy enough for that. Great for a tripod but not for action shots.

The slider piece that loosens and tightens the sling is what attaches to the tripod screw. I agree with Roger that it probably won't work right without that. I think that they make an attachment plate that allows you to use a tripod and the strap at the same time. That would probably be better than an extra one of these.I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with a heavy body/lens combination on two of these little straps. With a lighter camera I bet it would be fine.

technically no, but you can add a Joby "UltraFit Sling Strap" which secures to the tripod connector on camera. I am looking at that combo.

yes, but you may have clearance issues from the three legs if it isn't at the very bottom of the camera and you'll need to tinker with the legs to get it at a perfect 90 degrees. I'll say that it's best to select an angle for the mount head and leave it there vs. moving it and instead moving the legs to adjust if possible. The friction lessons it seems with each adjustment and eventually the head will just wobble around with no tension screw to tighten it like a traditional tripod.

no. unfortunately, you'd have to take the strap off in order to use it with a tripod.

Not with the equipment provided, Phillippe, but you could probably rig something to strap it there is you wanted. The head (light) piece is curved to sort of fit your head, so not sure how comfortable it would be. The straps are 1 inch wide and it comes with a long cord for the battery pack, so I bet it wouldn't be too hard to rig. Hope this helps.

Check youtube, there is a video where the guy actually uses velcro to attach the hood which makes it easily removable. He tossed the mount that would attach to the tripod threads

If you are clever with the mount you are given, I'd say yes. I used the velcro strap on the provided battery pack to mount on the helmet, no problems for me. If you want to make it even easier, check out this product: Light and Motion Helmet Mount for (Seca/Vega/Stella/Urban) Models

I would not recommend this tripod for.this type of work. The stability of the head is a problem and you can't get a clean 90 degree angle for shooting straight down.

You can mount the camera to any helmet, the problem might be the water. Most mounting pads don't hold up to good when exposed to water. This is not an asap specific issue. I always use a little safety leash.
