Helmet cam pole mounts?
- Thread starter FatDogX
- Start date
On the new Schooled DVD, it looks like they're using a chunk of PVC pipe that's been bent with heat or something.
I also thought about making something like that, but mounting it on the back of the sled so the view is just a couple feet back of my head...

Heard this works pretty good.
- cut a piece of board or thin metal that fits tightly in your pack (or water bladder sleeve)....this will minimize it wobbaling around.....you need a pack that can cinch down real tight around the board.
- attach a flexible rod....in case you hit a branch you wont get ripped off the machine.
- tripod mount or similar for camera so it can break away.

I was just planning on getting some type of collapsible mono-pod that I could strap to my backpack. Then just planning on using the GoPro Tripod adapter mount on top of that.

That's a great idea, anyone else post up some vids shot from pole mounts and explain what type of mount you used.
My crew uses Norazza monopods, super light, cheap, and pretty durable. Yet to break one and I've taken some tumbles with it. I stuff it in my backpack pocket on the side with my probes, use board strap to synch it tight:

You can see some backpack sled footage the tail end of this vid, around 3:45:

Here's a vid of mine with my contour rigged up to the top of my shovel handle. Not bad but too close to the rider I think. TGitt's mount with the set-back will give a better angle I think.

Great tip about using PVC in the shovel handle. We have been trying to figuure out a way to mount this without interfering with our avy bags. Setting the cam back further away sounds like the good idea.
After seeing the different angles I ended up getting a seat post mount for the GoPro so I can attach it to the front bumper. I like the angle back towards the rider as well.
I also got some billet GoPro mount for the tunnel. I've got them on both sides of the tunnel towards the rear, you can shoot forward or backwards.
Great ideas, keep em coming!!!
Here's a pic of those billet mounts

Ive used a mount on my shovel handle with it extended and it sucked plus not the best idea i decided just in case. Where did you get those billet mounts or where can I get some? very cool!
