Skylark 0 #1 October 13, 2011 I want to buy the Hero 960. It comes with several adhesive and strap mounts. Will the adhesive mounts be okay for skydiving? Or do I need a mount I can drill onto my helmet? Urgent answer please as I need to purchase this afternoon. "Into the dangerous world I leapt..."

DSE 5 #2 October 13, 2011 The adhesive mounts have provent to be the "standard" method. I've seen one guy with nylon screws holding the base to the helmet, and it was very well thought out, implemented, and sensible, IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've succesfully kept pilotchutes from deploying the main, hooked other flyers behind them, and caught onto reserve handles and more of other jumpers. Id say the adhesive is pretty strong....JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #4 October 17, 2011 Edited to add, Ive seen several people with the camera in a custom made bracket in front of their forehead. Very low profile, smooth sides, so lower risk of snagging a line. And also not that high on top of the head, so no bumping into the airplane roof etc.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

The gopro lowprofile mount by delta gear inc. http://www.deltagearinc.com/Kit&Tools/CameraMounts/GoProLowProMount.htm This is hands down the best gopro mount I have seen on the market. I have a lot of buddies that jump with the provided adhesive mount. It is so high above your head that you ocassionaly will turn off the device by bumping into the roof of the plane. Not to mention the extremely dangerous snag hazard. This is what I will be jumping when I get my jumps in to have a camera. Cheers.Stearny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
