Even though I got H9R with remote, I prefer to use phone app to control it. This gives me preview of camera aim as well, so I can adjust angle. Here's one of my commute videos leaving S.F. |
Just remember that helmets are designed to offer the least resistance on impact & a protrusion like your GoPro could induce a severe twist to your neck in a crash before it snaps off. That could be enough to severely damage if not break your neck, depends on the impact angle & speed. Just be aware. Ideally you want a break away mount, rather than relying on the mount snapping before it has induced a twist. Like wise the lock wire my make it return & smack you in the face hard should your visor be dislodged in an accident !
Mounting cameras to a helmet seems like a good idea, but it rarely is in an accident. You can get bike specific camera kits that come on with the bikes power & are effectively permanently mounted to the bike, so you don’t have to keep remembering to turn them on ! Just a suggestion.
YMMV
