Can I mount this camera on a bike helmet? If so, what kind of mount would you recommend?

this camera has a threaded mount on the bottom, for a traditional tripod screw - you would need an adapter to go from this traditional screw mount to a go-pro like mount. I have not looked into if this adapter exists, but I would hope so, I want to use my xp200 on my ski helmet

Yes... Depending on your helmet you may need to look into their mounting options they're many to choose from

They also offer a helmet mount in several variations, I know that is not much help if you already own a mount though. It would not surprise me if they have your mount available and try it out their first. They have done that for me several times.

the contourROAM watersports kit come with a surfboard mount wich is composed by two pices. a flat flexible base with 3M adhesive and a rotating mount 360 and 180 tilt. No memory card is included. To use this camera on a helmet you must buy one of the mounts for helmets. there are diferent types of helmets therefore there are diferent types of mounts. helmets with open vents like bicycles and all close helmets like motorcicles and skating.

It has threaded mounts on top and bottom that are compatible with a regular camera tripod. With a little creativity you could mount it to a bicycle helmet. the problem would be the control buttons are on the back of the camera.

No. If you stuck this on your helmet an attahced your camera you have found out the hard way. If you have not tried this, please reconsider.

Actually, I have a D5000, and I think I understand what you are saying. Sounds like You want to mount just your camera, and not a telephoto to the to the Gimbal. Looks like you would have to use a longer rail plate than the one which comes with the Gimbal.That's the only remedy I can see.

If worn under the helmet, I would say no, simply because of where the camera is located (take a close look at the picture to see what I mean). If you want to fit it over, I'm not sure about the size and I cannot give you an answer because I don't have it with me now. Maybe a fellow past purchaser can chime in now... ?Another option (for quite cheap) is the mount strap for vented bicycle helmets. Of course, this serves one single purpose and cannot be mounted to your head like the Smatree Head Strap.

Included with this camera is a surfboard mount, a flat surface (stick on) mount and a waterproof case for underwater filming. Yes you will have to purchase a helmet mount and yes you will have to purchase a micro SD chip to record onto. Helmet mount I found was about fifteen dollars and the micro SDHC (high Capacity) chip was from The big box store and was 32 GB for twenty fife dollars. Hope this helps.Mike

It might hold as a temporary mount on the bike for smooth riding footage. If you're riding rough terrain, I might recommend the handlebar mount.

It would be pretty difficult. The design of this mount relies on the 3M sticker which is a near-permanent bond to the helmet. I would suggest purchasing a strap mount. They simply stretch behind and over the helmet with straps and secure the camera to the helmet without any permanent residue or attachment. Best of luck, and have fun!

Funny, but I have one of those Sony Mini Camcorders and never thought about mounting it. I'm sure the mount is strong enough, but not sure about the bill of a baseball hat, if that's what you're mounting it on. I bought one of the little Midland Mini Cameras. Their very light, inexpensive ( $100-125 ish ) take great pics and if it did fall off and get damaged when doing "action" events it wouldn't break the bank.Good luck,R.

It has a standard mount thread on the bottom so in that sense yes. But I do not know of any mount made just for helmet mounting. You could use something like this -&gt; http://www.amazon.com/Swann-SWVID-FREE01-GL-Freestyle-Vented-Helmet/dp/B008UG14DS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1360096506&sr=8-6&keywords=camera+helmet+mount

For my application it has worked well. I am a firefighter and use it on Technical Rescue drills. This involves a lot of movement in all weather conditions. The base that this mounts to is probably the weak link if it were to fail. The one I installed seems to very secure and I feel confident that it will hold for normal use. I cannot attest to having the camera impacted by objects since that has not happened to me as of yet. The best answer that I could give is that if the attachment is as secure on my bike helmet as it is on my TRT helmet I would not hesitate to use it and any rides.

I am a mountain biker and a skier. I got the helmet front mount and some curved adhesive mounts. I got the lcd touch pac so i could set up my aim and also take the camera on vacations. But thats just me
