- The search for the best gopro mount for motorcycle helmet is over! I have tried many helmet gopro mounts for my SHOEI RF 1200 and yet I was never satisfied with any of them...until now. In this video, I go over the how to install the chin mount on to shoei helmet and a quick gopro helmet mount review. This simple gopro mount from CHIN Mounts allows the mount to be properly secured to your helmet right on the chin of the helmet. It gives you the best point of view footage from your helmet (as long as you install your gopro upside down). And the best part is, CHIN Mounts has gopro mount for thousands of different styles of helmets! I am so stoked to get rid of my hideous gopro helmet set-up to move on to this.

I just ordered the chinmount for my helmet thanks for sharing the discount code. I may start a moto blog like you.
yeah man - I may create a new series just for motovlog tutorials for those wanting to do this!
Had never heard of Chin Mounts. Great vid, thanks!
yeah man - next time you are looking for a good helmet mount, check them out. Most likely, they have the design for one of your helmets
Appreciate you reviewing & sharing this video 🤙 I'm from Vancouver, BC & have the RF1200 as well. Angles look good. Hopefully my windshield doesn't obstruct too much. Need to find a good inward windshield mount as well... search is still on
You can use two small pieces of masking tape to help find the center before sticking the chin-mount. Just place the chin-mount with the backing still on it and when you have it exactly where you want it, place a piece of tape onto the helmet on each side. Then when you go to stick the chin-mount, the tape will guide you precisely. Thanks for the video, I've been thinking about getting a camera and recording some of my riding, not so much for YT but to just to have and keep. There's so much product out there, I had no idea where to start. The setup you showed appears simple which is what I prefer. Also, I'm in Canada so having a Canadian source is nice.
yeah that is definitely the proper way of doing it. Also I think every rider should record their rides for their own record keeping! That is how I started too. Annnnnd you need to check my community post! You won June's giveaway man :)
@@KSMotoCafe Hey, thanks very much for the draw prize. I had not been checking the Community tab so I wasn't aware. Duhh. I just ordered bike parts from Fortnine two weeks ago so I could have used the giftcard. Well, there's always next time :) I'll send you an email, thanks again.
Thanks for the video. I have a Shoei RF 1400 and decided to install this same chin mount on the front using the mount that slides in at a downward angle. I'm using the clip that came with the chin mount. This may sound silly, but I can't figure out why my camera (well, the clip with the camera mounted on it) keeps popping out randomly. It doesn't do it going down the road. But if I put the helmet on the seat or something, I come back to put it on, and the clip pulls out of the mount with the camera on it. My chin mount doesn't move, just the gopro clip with the camera attached. I've manually played around to see if somehow the clips are getting pushed in making it slide back up/out, and for the life of me I can't see how that is happening. I can't manually re-produce it. Sounds crazy but I never had this issue until I started using this particular chin set up.
Yesterday I received my ChinMount mount for my helmet, I got it installed just like you showed. My helmet is set up with a GoPro hero 8. I'm still missing an audio recording device, I'm thinking of getting a Tascam. I will try using my phone for now. Thank you so much. Soon I'll be moto vlogging!
Tascam is what I got and works well (once you figure our which setting works with you). Audio is a tricky thing with motovlogging and can get frustrating but all of us have been there!
That's awsome, I run the same set up and helmet as you. The riding weather has finally arrived in Southern BC.. ride fun and ride safe.....cheers 😎
That's awesome! Do you have the gopro filming upside down as well? Enjoy the sweet sunny weather!
@@KSMotoCafe yes I do..I think it works better
Nice setup 😎👌🏽
thanks buddy 🤟
'let's set up the chin mount for the first time, not the 2nd time' :D that was making me laugh so hard and made me feel better! I am clearly not the only one with this kind of OCD :D great video!
lol yeah I can stand it when things are not symmetrical lol
@@KSMotoCafe you and me both 😂😂😂
Awesome man!
I used to have the swing arm setup for my Shoei too, then found a site that had custom options like yours.
That site does not have options for my wife’s helmet, I’m gonna check out this site to see if they have one. ✌️
try reaching out to them on instagram! they are pretty keen on getting more models
@@KSMotoCafe already checked, they don’t do one for my wife’s Shoei Glamster, however they do have a great range.
Raider world uses the chin mount and loves it
yeah it is such a clean set up! I love it
Nice flooring 👍🏻😊
haha thanks
Thanks for the review. I’m looking for a chin mount for my new RF-1400, the two that keep popping up is ride tech moto and chin mount. One reviewer on Chin Mount’s site mentioned that the go pro was a bit loose in the chin mount, did you notice this with yours? Thanks again.
some gopro mount clips do feel loose on the chin mount but the chin mount's accessory kit clips are good to go
@@KSMotoCafe cool, thank you.
Went through two chin mount on Agv K5. Had one fail twice and the company gave me a replacement. Second time the glue failed along with the mount and I'm just moving on to something else now
dang sorry to hear that bro
Answered my questions. Thanks.
I found these last week. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is that I have this stupid need to have the lens centered, and they don't make a mount that is offset to account for that.
That being said, they are just 3D printed, so I plan to just model one for my Sedici Sistema II that gives it the perfect offset to center the lens.
haha I know exactly what you mean! Though after filming this way for over two weeks, I didn't notice the offset at all during editing.
In Texas the 3M tape will melt off in the summer. Almost dropped a camera once. Apoxy is my only real solution. Looking good sir.
whoa - high heat affecting the sticker didn't even occur to me! I am usually worried about the cold 😂. Good point Ceasar!
I ordered two of these for my latest road trip and both failed after just a week of riding. Interestingly the part that failed was the tape that was connected to their mount and not to the area taped to my helmet, which makes me question the quality of their work. I'm not going to be using their products in the future as I don't want to risk losing my camera.
damn that is dodgey! maybe i saved myself a camera when I had to redo the tape work with my 3m tape
@@KSMotoCafe Yeah, I don't think their mount can handle the weight of the GoPro and Media Mod on long distance trips. Maybe for short trips around town and then if you take the GoPro off to alleviate the weight but for extended trips I wouldn't trust it.
@@AnthonyJoh good point - i dont have a media mod attached because mine failed to work.
Ok but where th do i get the thing that slides in the chinmount..
comes with it or any universal gopro mount works
I wonder why it’s called Chin Mount??? 🤣🤣🤣
They sold me a complete garbage product that came with loose 3M adhesive tape and didnt even fit my motorcycle helmet. Its overpriced garbage!
