 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Being the unprepared fool that I am, I haven't set aside enough time to locate the various mounts for my ContourHD in advance of setting off in the morning. Aside from copious amounts of tape, anyone have any bright ideas as to how to attach my ContourHD to a goggle strap or helmet?

Should be able to buy in resort?
Or duct tape but will it work? Can you still open the back, will be tricky with top slide button.......suggest you try get proper helmet mount somewhere.

Astraeus, Use cycle inner tubes to knot around it. Or failing that, get two of the stick on mounts from ebay.(country you are visiting) for £16 on the net and put your address as the place you are staying. Should be there in a couple of days.

Scarpa,

If you're not careful the girls will hijack this thread.

Scrap the goggle strap mount idea altogether as the amount of vibration has tangible effect on the end result. Instead use one of the static mounts that should have come with the camera and mount it directly to the helmet

Cable ties?

andyman is right, there's no point in goggle mounting the countour cams, as soon as you build up any speed on anything but a perfectly smooth piste the weight of the camera causes it to bounce up and down a fair bit.

Copious use of cable ties, or velcro is surprisingly good, though if you use velcro make sure the weight of the cam is supported or it'll gradually droop down...

Thanks for the suggestions folks. In the end I managed to beg, borrow and steal the connections to stick it to the helmet and the footage is remarkably more stable as a result. The goggle strap is now as good as consigned to the scrap heap - helmet-mount all the way.
