- [Gem Webb] In this video,
I'm gonna show you about mounting a GoPro,
to your helmet.
Um, the package that comes with the GoPro,
usually comes with these two types,
and one has a bevel, a curvature to it, and one has a flat.
So you'll choose the first one, the correct one,
which has the, uh, surface like this that's, rounded.
And so that it matches with your helmet's curvature,
makes sense, doesn't it?
But there's,
different positions on the helmet that you should consider.
Do you put it on the front of your helmet,
or do you put it right at the center point at the top?
Well, from my experience with GoPros and helmets,
it's, actually, creates a weird issue on the front,
even though it creates an opportunity
where you could mount it,
then, put a special adapter on
so that you could see yourself, which is pretty cool.
But, the problem is that the weight of this,
believe it or not,
the ounces of weight, can actually make your helmet kind
of constantly when you're,
you're doing jumps and things,
it pulls your helmet constantly forward,
and that becomes an irritant.
So my real, favorite spot is right on the top.
You are totally happy with that.
Now my helmet here, which isn't a Mac product,
I just put that Apple sticker on coz I like do that
with things around the house.
My helmet actually has lines in it,
little groove, so,
it's still okay.
They stick fine, they don't come off.
This 3M Tape is the bomb.
And you essentially
just choose the center point,
so let's do it.
Take the tape off.
Oh yeah, here we go.
One, two, three, four.
Who are we for?
And you find the center point.
And for my helmet going directly
up it, I will have to say that the center point
is right about
there.
Let's just make 100% before I wire it
so that
I will have
it
coming down on my helmet.
Okay. Bam, and I am
happy.
And that is that.
And that sucker
is fine.
Let's see.
(adjusts adhesive mount )
Then you make sure that's on,
'cause once that's on, that's never coming off.
Let's see, there it is and it's on now,
it's on like some serious on.
And it's staying (laughs),
I mean, it's just some strong stuff.
So now you can choose your case now,
there're different cases out there.
And of course,
I mean the new Hero5,
this is a Hero4 Black, no screen on the back.
I like this one, this is like professional, videography.
And you can actually see this stuff,
on your cell phone, uh, screen, so that's okay.
So, you would have to use one of these cases
and waterproof case 'cause, you know, snow, right?
(chuckles)
And it becomes,
it gets on the lens, we don't want that.
So you just put it in here and put it
in and do the steep snap patty whack give a dog a bone.
And it is in.
Now, now we have to choose the clasp of choice
and I am, for this demonstration, going to choose
this cool one, which has a little angle to it.
I mean, you got a whole bunch of types,
and essentially, you put this in like so,
line it up, and you get one of these things
and you just make sure and the other, whoops,
the other side is that little,
M piece there that it goes through, of course.
Oh! I got the wrong one.
You get so many of these things,
I suggest having a bag around,
to actually put these things in because,
Ooh! I even did that one wrong.
You get a lot of parts,
GoPro has a lot of little accessories and stuff
and you end up getting a bag.
I just bought something on Amazon
and it came with bags.
And I use this for most of my parts, a little bag,
but yeah, you start getting a lot.
So, you tighten it up and it's tightened.
Now you take the helmet and you,
I like squeezing this part back here.
There's not a lot of documentation on this, you know,
inserting these things.
So, but don't be fearful,
it's not going to get locked in there.
You squeeze the back end and you push it in, okay?
And snap, and it's snapped in there now.
Easy thing to take it out is, you just squeeze
these two things, push it forward,
and then it slides right out again.
But that's the thing, I was scared I was scared at first
with a new GoPro unit.
I was like, "Oh man, it's gonna get locked in.
What if I do it backwards?"
You cannot, these are both sides.
So now, let's check it out.
And you have
the cool...
The ultimate test is seeing what it's like when it's on.
(sings)
Hello.
It looks really good,
it's all adjustable and stuff.
Oh yeah.
And it's on the side, it looks cool too.
Okay.
