I got this to attach my GoPro Session to my Giro vented bike helmet. The strap idea appealed to me because I didn’t want to use on of the sticky mounts. It does just what I wanted. Two thoughts though: You really notice having the weight of a camera on your head. I usually tend to forget my helmet is even there, but not with the extra weight of the camera. They’re small but dense. Later I wondered whether putting a hard camera cube on ones helmet was a great idea. If I’m ever in a crash, I really don’t want to have a GoPro surgically removed from my skull. That led me to invest in a handlebar mount, but I’ll probably still use the helmet strap on occasion. Bottom line is this thing delivers what it promises. If you’re looking for a helmet mount, I recommend this one.

I love this mount for helmet attachments when I inline skate or bike ride, but the real magic of this particular mount is its versatility. When I want to mount a camera in a stationary position (i.e. above looking out at the action), this is the way to go. For instance, when I record my serves in tennis, I mount the camera on the chain link fence surrounding the court and it holds incredibly well while at the same time being easy to install. Initially, when I got the urge to record my serves, I thought of using the Roll Bar mount around the narrow twists in the chain link fence and that became a pain. With the vented helmet mount, I simply slipped the nylon straps around the wide part of the chain links and proceeding to tighten them down. The camera doesn't slip at all over time, even when I hit record around 40 times during a practice session to create new clips.
