HOW TO: GoPro chin mount

[KYD]

I had a camera mounted on a buddies front fender and he set down a O wheelie on the bikes side with not that much force and the sides of the mount snapped right off n camera when rolling. The case latch busted on it, but camera was good.

Ive seen this happen to like 5 other people who try putting them on their front fender. Idk what it is, but happens every time

lol, I just used the tripod mount, a screw and a few washers to mount it to my front fender... there's a hole there now

I'm looking to use this setup for the Gopro I just purchased however I wasn't too sure of the process when binding the bondo mould to the mount and helmet.

Are the image titles I use below correct? My understanding is that you sanded the mount and bondo mould so they could stick together using silicon caulk. Then you reattached the 3M adhesive to the bondo mould and helmet.

Doing this ASAP!

Sorry, haven't looked at this thread in forever! I might make a video if I get a new helmet, the mount is still holding strong on mine!

What I did was remove the 3m adhesive completely. It is not used at all for this. Then I roughed up the mount so the bondo would stick to it. I put tape on the helmet so the bondo WOULDNT stick to it. I basically used the helmet as a mold so I could get the bondo to match the curve of the helmet. Once the bondo was cured, I pulled it off the helmet and it stayed stuck to the mount pad because I roughed it up. So now I had a mount pad that matched the curve of the helmet. Last thing I did was apply some silicone to the back of the bondo and stuck it to the helmet. So the bondo is stuck to the mount or "part" of the mount now and then the mount is glued to the helmet with the silicone. Does that make more sense?
