Finding the best spot to mount your GoPro is a constant struggle. The most popular spot is on top of your dirt bike helmet, but if it falls off you will never know. Here at Usdualsports our go to mounting position is under the visor "which blocks your line of site" until now. We recently found a cool product that makes mounting an action camera on your dirt bike helmets chin guard easy and requires no glue or screws called the Dango Design GoPro Gripper Mount.
Overall
We will keep this review short and sweet due to the fact that this product sells itself. If you're looking for a product that produces great camera angles, is easy to move, durable, and allows you to keep an eye on your GoPro or other action camera, then this product is for you! With dual axis movement almost any camera view point is possible, and the locking feature keeps your camera pointed in the desired location. Overall this is a great way to achieve different camera angles without gluing or screwing into your helmet. Keep in mind this product is not limited to helmet mounting, we have mounted it to our handlebars, front number plate and even a humming bird feeder (for the lady who's property we ride on). Below is our standard Q&A section. If you have a question of your own comment below or email us.
