Lord Daem Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Hello, newbie here again with yet ANOTHER question!! I recently bought a helmet (see link below) with several mounts on it as I am looking to have a helmet camera. HOWEVER I've just realised I have no idea what camera to get or indeed how to mount it to said helmet, D'oh! Is there anyone out there with a similar setup that has some suggestions? Thanks yet again!! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B1EMXPY/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_zGs1vbV0B19ED
Adam3088 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Nvg gopro mount + sj4000 camera. Nice and cheap but the picture quality is good. I had to pad the mount out a bit to make it fit correctly in mine.
MrMcG Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I use a contour roam 3 Very good imo cheap and easy to use with good qiality video its a tube shape instead of box shape as well I normally mount mine to side of helmet with pacintinny rail but can also mount to gun as well

n1ckh Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I use an sj4000 can and made up the nvg mount as the one I ordered never arrived, didn't have time to order another so the one I made up works well Only downside is that I can't edit them using Windows media or anything I also have 2 round action dv cameras that I can mount on any rifle with rails

How on earth did you manage it>

Only problem on mine was that the mount wouldn't fit into the NVG holder very well, had to file a bit and then stick some tape either side to stop it from wobbling.

Problem with mine is it won't go on, no matter how much pressure I use!!
Supporters jcheeseright Posted August 27, 2015 Supporters Posted August 27, 2015 Knock off shrouds on helmets are normally a bit too small, the gopro arm you've got there is designed to fit into a real ops core VAS.

I got mine from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminum-NVG-Mount-for-GoPro-HERO-2-3-3-Military-Helmet-Mount-Combat-OS103-/400715951894?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5d4c882f16 Looks identical so not sure how that's happened..
