Chin Mount - Brutally Honest Review

- Chin mount.com sold me a complete garbage product that came with loose 3M adhesive tape and it did not even fit my motorcycle helmet when I tested to mount it. Their "chin mounts" are overpriced low quality 3D printed junk. I returned it and demanded a refund. Luckily I paid thru PayPal so I got my money back. If you read the reviews on Trustpilot you will see how bad they are. The positive "reviews" on YT and Trustpilot are affiliated with those scammers and should not be trusted.
I found a better solution to attach my action camera Insta360 RS One and Purple Panda mic to my new Acerbis helmet. Sugru instead of 3M tape and standard GoPro mounts including a curved extension arm (that I already had) was all that it took for a perfect chin mount. - Zábava
"Shin mount… Sheek pad…" This guy is _definitely_ Swedish.
Guilty as charged. I googled the pronounce, ok fine, but were is the "t" in chin 😁
Thought about this mount, but when I saw it for 35 bucks I said "Surely not" so before I tried to buy it and waste 35 bucks I decided to find a video on CZcams, saw one that was obviously a sponsor, then I found this one and it honestly answered all my answers, cheap quality, way over priced, and doesn't even stick to the dam helmet, just going to try and use the same technique that you did with how you mounted the gopro mount on the side of the helmet and use arm extensions to have the gopro sit Infront. Thanks for making the video!!
Thanks, yes indeed it is a garbage product, glad you got your mount fixed 👍
It was made on a 3D printer Gurra!
Glad you got a refund my friend. Your Sugru solution works much better and the sound is crystal clear. Spring is just around the corner and that snow will hopefully clear soon.
I believe it was because I paid thru PayPal, they did try to avoid any refund. It worked out really well and I can't wait for spring now ☺ Cheers 👍
Ya nobody is talking about this, I was making a video to explain my experience as well. The 3M tape is trash and will fail within 6 months. You have to use E6000 glue or something strong to KEEP it permanently stuck to the helmet.
Glad you got yours fixed 👍
Yep, I spent the same amount on that same 3D printed chin mount and it kept falling off. I bought some Sugru and it fixed the problem.
Sugru wouldn't help in my case since the mount didnt even fit my helmet. I should have read the reviews on trustpilot before ordering, many have problems with this company. And those who give good reviews are probably "friends and family" 😆
@@GurrasGarage well that sucks 😢
Looks lie a Purple Panda Mic Gurra, and I picked that the first mount was 3D printed before you said it was it stood out like a sore thumb! The mouldable gley did the trick.
Yep Purple Panda is great! This chin mount is overpriced garbage imo. At least I got my money back, but they tried to bribe me with a $9.99 gift card, why would I want a gift card?
I guess they don´t even buy the helmets. You can use photos as reference to model the mounts in blender rather easy.
Had luck that there is a file floating around in the internet for my Bell MX-9 Adventure and that I own a printer since December. Material cost is basically 0,64€ for material and 0.16€ for energy-consumption (as calculated by Cura)
I think you are correct, I never believed they have 700 helmets in the first place.
I bought a similar mount from a competitor to this company, also a 3D printed item but it looks to be a better finish than the one you show. Even so, I thought it very pricey for what it is and in the event I didn't use it.
Bad 3D printer job on mine, but I am not the first noticing this, many have the same experience from this company. No bad reviews on their homepage of course they are censored and removed fast.
Now you are a rich plastic owner. :) Joke. You did a great thing to return it. I just mounted my old chin mount on my new helmet. Better to have a proven solution in my opinion. Great video bro. Cheers.
Thanks, yes it would be a disaster if that chin mount came off when riding, a 400-$500 camera lost.
@@GurrasGarage Yeah, better prevent it. :) Drop by bro, long time no see. :)
Thanks
Face reveal and the sound is great.
I have done full face reveal before, I still look like sh-t 😆
Thanks for sharing 👋😎👌👍👍👍
Thanks for watching 👍
I bought one of those chin mounts not to long ago, absolutly rubbish quality it feel off of my helmet just with my camera on it and my helmet on my shelf!
switched to a different brand called "motomounts" quality feels and looks a million times better havent really properly test it yet though cause I only got it yesterday haha
I have seen the reviews on Trustpilot, many have issues with both the company and products. I just wish I read the reviews before ordering this garbage. Hope your new mount works better 👍
Hey can I ask how the other cam mount from Motomount is working out for you now, three months after your comment? I’m looking for an alternative to ChinMount since MotoRadds won’t work on my Scorpion. ty
Wait thats their real product? I thought that was fake LMAO. Why does everybody hype this up? You can get a higher quality product for £8 ($10-12) that better fits the universal mount mechanism anyway lol
Not everyone is hyping this garbage. Those who do are affiliated with chinmount and are lying their heads off. This is the sad truth with sponsored videos.
@@GurrasGarage well yeah lmao
Theres an incredibly large amount of people who will sponsor garbage they dont even know is a good product
