I tried the head mount but found it uncomfortable wearing it with my beanie. Didn't even know you could take the top strap off and didn't even think of wearing the mount underneath my beanie. Thanks for the tips
I would recommend 4x3. Even if you don't tilt the camera to the perfect angle, 4x3 provides more room top to bottom which allows you to choose the best frame for 16x9 in post.
3:34 I’ll say! I wish I had the same strong sense of self.. I care what other people think of me too much! Man now I know how they were able to get those perspectives on some of those movies I used to watch😮..Seems like you should need to be at least 21 to buy one of these things!I don’t think I’d walk outside of my bedroom, errrr house with this thing on!😅
@@nitinfunky09 you can cinch the head strap, nice and tight but anything airborne I would recommend having a safety tether so in the situation, your GoPro/head strap were to come off it wouldn’t fall. I can’t answer your question directly, but I may recommend a more fixed/permanent mount For paragliding. Maybe consider an adhesive mount on your helmet if you wear a helmet. The only way to truly know is to test it yourself or to ask another paraglider if they have used it. Just remember, safety first! Make sure to have a back up if the head strap were to come off.
Notice any difference/benefit to the 11 mini v.s. 11 regular on the head mount 2.0? I’m looking to use it for kayak fishing. Which GoPro would you pair with the head strap for that?
That’s correct! The new head strap has its mounting tabs located in the center of the piece of plastic as opposed to the older head strap which has the tabs located at the bottom of the plastic closet to your eyes and nose… I believe this is to help with the center of gravity and how the mount and camera reacts to bumps and vibrations during your activities / sports
You could probably use it for scootering, but I would highly suggest the adhesive sticky amount on your helmet if you’re getting any type of air. Not only is the adhesive amount more secure and solid, but it also allows you to connect it to your helmet which would keep you a lot more safe.
I would recommend the camera that you already have! There’s no reason to not start today! The GoPro 12 is pretty awesome and mountable and wearable if you’re looking to upgrade camera
I agree. Although I have not tested the magnetic mount, there is some thing about securely mounting the camera that gives me more confidence to use the GoPro ecosystem
Why would GoPro go to the trouble of making a baseball cap and not put a camera mount on it? The Chinese have been making them for years. GoPro creates some amazing stuff, but then every once in a while they fall inexplicably short on an idea.
Valid point, but keep in mind the GoPro slogan: World‘s most versatile camera. I believe the ideology is: why make just a baseball hat mount, when you could make a clip that clips onto a baseball hat and also clips onto your backpack strap or a multitude of other places.
I don't think this mount is that secure. In my opinion, I think the head strap mount would be pretty easy to steal off someone's head. I would suggest mounting the camera to a helmet that is secured to your head, then using an adhesive mount and quick release buckle system. This is a much more secure mounting option when it comes to thieves.
Great question! Unfortunately the head strap won’t work the best with a helmet.. you may consider using a curved or flat adhesive mount to mount the GoPro to you helmet if there is a spot on your helmet that would allow for it. … if your helmet has vents/holes like a bicycle helmet, then the vented helmet strap may be a better mount. What type of helmet are you trying to mount to?
That’s definitely an option, but after some testing I prefer to have the camera above my eye-line. Mounting the camera upside down is always an option especially for the chest mount harness
