good points, and thanks for the tips on the RAM mounts, you nailed it, when you said it is a hassle to get a right angle with the basic mounts.

@rosemarytaylor4292 6 лет назад

Hi, thanks for this informative demo. Small thing, but if you are demo-ing products that are black in color and holding them in front of your black hoodie, it can make it a little difficult to see what features you are talking about on the product. These products are fairly simple, but if they weren't it might not be as clear what you're trying to point out. Thanks again!

@ianglaurie 5 лет назад

good point I'm a big fan of black but you're correct its a bit difficult to see ]

@brianmac.theoldfartgamer.409 6 лет назад

Great Video Ian. Clear and concise.Subbed. Having just bought my Yamaha Dragstar 125 and all the accessories,pretty broke at the moment lol. ;-) I would like to buy a go pro, but can't afford the top range model. Any advise for a guy like me who just wants some casual footage to show family and friends and mounted on the right side of my helmet. Which go pro would you choose.Any advise would be much appreciated. Many thnxs in advance Ian. Cheers. Brian.

@ianglaurie 6 лет назад

Brian Mac.The Old Fart Gamer. Thanks! Have a look on amazon there are some GoPro style cameras that are around $40 and get great reviews! Ride safe

@brianmac.theoldfartgamer.409 6 лет назад

Many thnxs for the reply Ian.Gone for an Akaso to kick off with.Take care Brian.

@leejackson9295 4 года назад

Hey there great review I've now took your advice and got a ram mount but can't find the attachment for the forks if you could help that would be great thanks

@ianglaurie 4 года назад

Ah ok what you want is the big jaws clamp that Ram do it’s great as it clamps on anywhere I’ll try and find a link

@jimbeaver27 6 лет назад

I was hoping to get more info on sound and mics, since these are key to good video. The skeleton case means you can get better sound, it also means you can easily plug in an external mic. But wind noise is my problem. I want to have decent engine sound but no wind noise. I have put a fake fur fuzzy bit on the mic port, still on a windy day the wind noise is bad. What about helmet mounted mics, what about BT mics? Please do another video explaining how to get good sound.

@ianglaurie 6 лет назад

Hi Jim, I'm going to do a separate video on settings and one on sound too. In order to minimise distortion I try and get the camera/mic if attached out of direct wind. So, either a mic attached and in my helmet (works quite well) or behind the windscreen. I've also heard these are good although I've not tried one yet: amzn.to/2oA129d

@jimbeaver27 6 лет назад

Great look forward to future videos.

@presenttalk7062 6 лет назад

Hi! I was wondering if the position of the camera makes any difference on safety? I was planning on mounting my GoPro 5 to the chin of my helmet (6D ATS-1) and scared in the case of a front face crash the camera will break the helmet. Thanks!

@ianglaurie 6 лет назад

I’ve often wondered about this but I figured they allow it in plenty of motorsports events so is probably fine...

@edgarmiranda5270 4 года назад

Curious, for the side mount option. Do you have a preference of right vs left? Do most right handed people put it on the right and vice versa?

@ianglaurie 4 года назад

I would say it depends which side of the road you drive on if you are on mountain roads etc it probably makes sense to have on the outside side to get more scenery in the shot

@LaoWhy469Productions 4 года назад

Great video. I have a 3+ but am buying an 8Black. Its the parts to connect that always confuses me and...what about recoding audio? I have and use a modular helmet and am curious what people use to be able to record audio with their video. Any help with that?

@ianglaurie 4 года назад

Sorry to hear that dude really hope you get it back but I know I got super lucky!

@ramnamrico9399 5 лет назад

I have one of those go pro helmet mounts onto my helmet, most of the sides are not sticking but only by the middle, will this stay on

@ianglaurie 5 лет назад

Try mounting the GoPro and leave it over night somewhere it won’t damage if it falls off that’s a good test

@JimiHendrix998 4 года назад

Nice Rudge...

@Bayonetwork 6 лет назад

Great video, I am super struggling with vibrations on the handlebar option with ram mount, is there a great vibration reduction piece that you could recommend to add? thank you and keep up the great work.

@ianglaurie 6 лет назад

Bayonetwork thanks, try using the shortest ram arm you can get, shorter is usually less vibration. Try a rubber shim on the bars and experiment with different positions sometimes handlebars aren’t the best place depending on the bike

@Bayonetwork 6 лет назад

Ian G Laurie thanks I'll try the short arm

@OlderShadowRider 2 года назад

You forgot to send a link to the scan cards for the go pro????

@mattlv8180 5 лет назад

what about chest mount position? not good for gopro on motorcycle? was thinking to get one as i dont want to mount on helmet square brick gopro :(

@ianglaurie 5 лет назад

Actually since this video I’ve used a chest mount and it works pretty well. You can get them super cheap from amazon

@alexdarkangel751 5 лет назад

Does ceramic coating affect the go pro mount beacuse mine fell off on the chin Mount with defult gopro mount u get

@ianglaurie 5 лет назад

I can't imagine ceramic is a great surface for the pads to stick to - maybe try a clamp if you can get one to fit?

@alexdarkangel751 5 лет назад

@@ianglaurie yeah I'll try that luckily it fell off while my helmet was stationary and I was eating pizza, I'm gonna buy the official GoPro helmet mount and give it another go at the ceramic coating last for like 3 years

@Ibrahim.marmoush 4 года назад

Amazing knowledge bro, thanks a lot One question please, can I connect a GoPro Hero 5 Black to my Sena SMH10 Bluetooth on my helmet so I can record voice while filming?

@ianglaurie 4 года назад

I’ve always wondered this I don’t have a sena but would get one of you could. I’ve seen a few vlogs where it looks like they might be doing this. Will search this out and get back to you!

@brenettabraddy7574 4 года назад

Wait, so I probably missed it but what type of mount do I need for the windshield??

@ianglaurie 4 года назад

you're poss gonna get a lot of vibration from the windshield but RAM and GOPRO do suction mounts that would work on the windscreen :-)

@TheAncientBiker 5 лет назад

Good video thanks although must admit I couldn't take my eyes off that Rudge behind you :-)

Richard Wells video on that beauty is coming up!

@ianglaurie 4 года назад

Thankyou :-)

@listairgin 4 года назад

Does mounting to your helmet create unwanted wind noise? Thanks

@ianglaurie 4 года назад

Haven’t noticed a big problem although I guess really you would only clip the camera on during scenic sections rather than longer blasts down the highway. Thanks for watching:-)

@listairgin 4 года назад

Ian G Laurie thanks for the reply, I appreciate it 👍

@edwaoman2829 4 года назад

Is it legal and safe to mount it under the headlight?

@ianglaurie 4 года назад

Can’t see why not

@rogersmith5371 5 лет назад

In some states in Australia there are reports that police are stopping motorcyclists with cameras attached to their helmets and fining them as they claim the helmet no longer conforms to Australian standards. The basis of this action is that the standards sticker that is attached to the helmet was placed there at the time of manufacture and the condition it was in when it left the factory. Adding a camera no matter how it is mounted is said to alter the helmet so it is no longer conforming to the standard. The situation varies from state to state and the penalty also varies. In the light of that it might be better to mount the camera on the bike or get a chest mount.
