Drift Vented Helmet Mount - Perfect to Mount your camera to The top of your cycle helmet, reducing any vibration You would get mounted to The bike

Does the job well, but the supplied straps are massive overkill, and very bulky. They would do better providing a few zip ties, which is what I used to mount to the helmet. Very expensive for what it is though

Generally my view of this product is positive. I did (eventually) get it to fit on my Giro helmet and after several rides I can confirm that it stays in place. The product is held in place by four straps, two fore and aft and two left and right. A buckle on each strap tightens the strap and holds the mount in place.However, my helmet has a mesh on the inner part of the helmet which stops the front strap from going through so I have had to loop the strap around the visor as I wasn't prepared to cut the mesh. Also, my helmet has a streamlined rear so the strap doesn't go squarely over the streamlining. This makes it very hard for the mount to sit squarely on top of the helmet. That is offset by the fact that the Ghost has a rotatable lens so with some trial and error it is possible even with the camera skewed slightly from dead centre on the helmet, to get footage that is basically upright not slanted. The image on the web site shows the camera quite far forward on the helmet: I found that I needed the mount to be back, on the "rise" of the helmet from the rear to get a slightly "up" angle, otherwise when in a riding position all you end up filming is the tarmac in front of you. As I bought this to provide potential evidence of incidents that might occur when road cycling, this was not acceptable. It might be different for someone riding DH for example. The matter of the camera angle is exacerbated if you try and set the Ghost to its narrowest field of view. Even with the camera mount set back with a slight up angle, I have found it necessary to use the wider field of view settings to get a more useful view of the road. I don't ride drop handlebar bikes, all my bikes are hybrids so the angle of view may be a particular issue for those who do ride road bikes, especially if they spend a lot of time in the drops. I may end up getting a swivel mount to interface between the Ghost and this mount, but it is more weight and I will see how this pans out over the next few weeks. Generally happy though as it is cheaper than a Go Pro and the 114 degree FOV is adequate although I would have preferred to be able to use the 90 degree FOV for my purposes.

The plastic mount is very good and the camera clicks firmly into place. The problem with this product are the straps or more precisely the strap fixings. They are way too big and this makes it very difficult to fit to a vented helmet with any degree of tightness, which you need to stop the mount moving about. In the end I resorted to using cable ties to fix the mount (one at each corner) and this works very well once you have the camera position right. it's also looks better than having straps going in all directions. This makes this a very expensive piece of plastic, although there is no other way of fixing the Drift camera to a vented helmet. My advice would be bin the straps and fix using cable ties.

Pros - Does exactly what you want it to. Mildy fidly to fit in a MIPS helmet, but safe and secure.Cons - Hideously overpriced.

Used once so far, fitted easily and held the camera steady during the ride.
