Attaching a Camera to a moto helmet

[stumbows]

Guys i don't actually have a video for you but i am here to ask a question that maybe some can provide some light on.

I am going riding this weekend with my dad on our road bikes and i thinking about attaching a video camera to my helmet and film the trip.

The only thing is i am not sure of how to safely secure it as i will be getting up to around 200 Kph i would imagine.

It's pretty slim and the lens is at the top so i could tape it on but i would have to go all the way around and use heaps of it.

Anyone have any suggestions.

HAHA yea that's what i thought i'll play around with taping it on tomorrow it should be good.

We're heading up this mountain near where i live it's about 11kms to the top and 10kms to the base from my place.

It takes us about 4 and half mins to get to the top... keep in mind there's 3 hair pins and the rest isn't much better it's about 800meters above sea level.

should be good fun and i am looking forward to see how it turns out on video.

Don't know if anyone else has any other ideas but anything is welcome.

zip ties work wonders

we use zip ties and some sort of foam rubber for a cushion.its an older motorcross helmet that we drilled 6 holes in.2 rows of 2 vertically and 1 row horizontally.obviously you'd need to take some measurements and possibly ruin a helmet in the process.the foam definetly helps in more than one way.it keeps the camera from sliding around.a wide angle lens works great also.i'll post a clip of me filming the helmetcam rider and he's not going slow.theres a few fast moving clips in the stunt demo i threw together..

On my friends bike we replaced the head-light with a camera, wasnt like a helmet cam but worked ok.

I have a couple spare helmets i might be able to ruin but i won't if i don't have to.
