Can the mirror be removed from the mount? I use the same helmet for Mountain biking and road cycling and obviously won't need it when on the mtb.

sorry, no. the end of the mounting rod is molded on in order to remove the mirror assembly you will have to fully remove the screw and nut that holds it in place. Less than optimum, IMHO.

The mirror comes with two adhesive backed velcro strips. So, allegedly, it can be removed and even installed on a second helmet. However, I found the adhesive on the velcro was not really strong enough, and the mirror flew off the helmet while in use. I ended up using exterior grade double face tape. It is not removable now. That was my experience, YMMV.

Yes, it's easy to remove. It's held on with a velcro patch that sticks to the inside rim of your helmet.

Hi. Yes, the rod comes out fairly easily and you can leave the mount in place. I have to tell you, though, that I plan to replace it this spring. The mirror surface is polished aluminum. It's durable, but images aren't very clear, which I found to be a huge detriment in traffic.

The arm mounts to the helmet with Velcro. The rectangular piece in the picture velcros to a pad you permanently stick to the inside of the side of the helmet. The arm will come off easily and the pad on the helmet will not bother you.

Mirror is mounted to the helmet by velcro and is easily removed and replaced.

The mount goes into the handle bar. This is an excellent mirror, but only where the bar end is available free space.

It's a 3M sticky back mount that attaches directly to the helmet. Once it's on, it's not coming off until you scrap it off.

The mirror is very sturdy. I packed it and lugged it on several plane flights with no problem. I would be more concerned about damage to the helmet if it was dropped.

There are two kinds of mirrors. This one fits into mountain bikes, hybrid bikes and comfort bikes where the handlebars are not curved. There is usually a plug that can be pryed out of the ends of the handlebars which will accomodate the mirror. If the handlebars are curved you need to get the other type.

The mirror clamps inside the handlebar so that it does not interfere with the grips.It uses two pieces of hard plastic which are cut at an angle so that when a screw is tightened they push into the inside diameter of the handlebar. It is very secure, as through 2 accidents there has been no damage to the mount.Incidentally I used another mirror surface to get a larger image of traffic, but the mount itself is the best one.

Other than a downhill mtb full face helmet or a motocross helmet I'd say these are the next best thing but I've never hit my head riding a bicycle to be honest. I feel safe in this though for XC mtb. I've had concussions racing motocross

Not sure what 'normal' might be. A very small drop of the helmet would not damage the mirror. The arm piece is made of plastic (good quality and pretty substantial). I keep my helmet in a drawer in the garage. A few times the mirror has taken a hit as it's been put away - realigns the location, but does no damage. The arm is modular and sections can come apart - but just snap back in without any problem. Better made the pretty much any other mirror that I've used.

I understand what your saying but the helmet mount is only velcroed on to the air ports in your helmet so what I do is either leave the helmet mount on and if I know itm not goibg to make it I take my helmet off mount the light set which mode I want on high beam low, high or low strobe. The main reason I use helmet mount is when I tutn to avoid something in the road my eyes follow the light this can be tragic our eyes focuse on the beam of light and it throws our equal libriam off

I doubt it can be removed, but I haven't tried. I use it for a spotting scope and not a camera. It is stable and works for me.

The only mount I see is on the top of the hand grip. The "foot" portion has a rubber non-skid cap that I assume is a pressure fit which I have not tried to remove. Does not look like it is intended to be removed either. But still a great idea you could pass along to the manufacturer. Best of look in your shopping.

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!

You can pop the arm off, leaving the zipties and the base "knob" on the helmet. You can lengthen (by getting more parts) and shorten the arm, each joint that you can see will detach. It does mean that when you are trying to adjust the mirror, it is easy to pop it off in your hand, but you learn how to adjust before you start moving, and to know the limits of what you can do while you are moving. I love mine!

Once you put the attachment pad on your helmet, it should not be removed. The unit itsself attaches to the padded clip, and the clip doesnt move

Take it off between uses. Suction does not last forever so you wouldn't want to lose it. This bike mount rocks!!! Takes only a few seconds to install and half that to take off. Comes with spare arts as well
