I mounted my helmet cam on the side of my helmet.

Wow, I really miss judged the angle. I used an agle that I thought would match my line of sight, but instead it looked down and the street, then I increased it up 15 degrees and it is better. I'll increase it up again another 15 degrees... but Jeez!

Anybody else notice that they need to aim higher than they thought they neeeded to?

I'll take a photo of the helmet with the Cam mounted...

I dont just stare at the pavement when I ride... really.

 

YUP!

I did the same exact thing. Its not that you misjudged your heads angle, its just you don't realize what angle the helmet sits on your head. Luckily on my helmet cam I can adjust 2 clicks up and its good. The other problem is its tilted slightly to the right. Thats a pain. Theres no flat spot except where my strap for my goggles go...cant put it there.

 

Below are some pics of my Oregon Scientific ATC 2K mounted on my helment. I couldn't get any of the rubber straps or velcro pieces to work like I wanted so I found the best location and used epoxy to glue the mount in place. Fortunately the camera snaps into the mount so I can take it off to start/stop it and then snap it back into the mount. I put a piece of black electrical tape on the side of the helment to act as a check on the camera angle in case it happens to get bumped.

Its the most common error.
Your first vids are of the ground.
It is surprising at just how high you need to point it.

 

Cool Thanks.

Kmac: Big thanks on the pics, that helps, I need to be more in-line with the visor. I get it.

I'll make a quick video and post a link here.
Thanks!

 

hahaha yeah i've done that with mine. just make sure you dont knock it off angle when you hit a branch depending on your mount setup. some of my vids are a little 'skew' after knocking some shrubbery
Plus, it also helps if you can see what you're recording. (camcorder setup)

 

Weeeeeeee require.....................A SHRUBBERY!!! ......... one that looks nice..........but not too expensive.

 

Hahahahahaha
You made my day.
I off to the video store.........

 

The freakin part with the beast of carbanor (however in the hell you spell that) , the flying rabbit that makes your head fall off just by touching you....is the best.
