Try marking the center at the top of the visor first, where you have a straight line to measure. Lift up the visor to your 12" point and that will be your exact center point.
Keep in mind that we are still waiting cookie to update the roller mount to except the new Hero8. The camera WILL FIT in the mount without a dive housing, however, you will have to take everything apart if you want to charge or review the footage. Cookie states that they are in the kitchen and should have a new resolution soon!
Do you have a video for the roller mount and the new G35? Is there a cut away system for it outside of the Utility plate that still has not been released yet... Thanks.
What kind of camera housing is that that you have attached to the roller mount? I have my GoPro attached directly to the roller mount but can’t take the camera off easily.
This is for the older GoPro HERO5-HERO7 that came with cages. I believe the "GoPro Protective Housing" works with the latest GoPro cameras and the Cookie Roller Mount. Of course, you'll still have the housing mounted on the helmet. Please double check with Cookie Helmets first.
My mounting screws were a bit short. I bought 8/32 x 1/2" from the hardware store and they were about 1/8" longer, just enough. I used the felt pad under the mount, and noticed that if I tightened the screws too much, it straightened the mount enough to where the long horizontal screws would not feed in, so don't over-tighten.
I'd use this over a VHB mount any day. On axis impact with a gopro either mounted via a VHB mount or a roller mount will cause the force to be concentrated at a focused point. Both will cause severe trauma to the wearer. This happened in this fatality with a VHB mount: petapixel.com/2014/10/12/michael-schumachers-ski-accident-brain-injury-said-caused-gopro-helmet-cam/ IMHO, the two small holes in the helmet change the impact rating a lot less than the fact that a "sharp" object is affixed to the helmet. The ABS shell is super thick in comparison to any bike and motorcycle helmet I've seen. I feel using the roller mount is overall a safer solution due to the more pressing issue of line/bridle/toggle snag than a VHB mount. With that said, skydiving is dangerous and we all try to minimize our highest risks.
@@Gethypoxic You can also just leave the helmet of and drill a hole in your skull to get the camera mounted? Same thing. Great promotion for removing safety!
@@Thierryanthony Sounds like you've have a ton of experience with impact testing so I thank you for your educated response. Skydiving is a dangerous sport where we have to deal with line entanglements. We (skydivers) are trying to minimize our risk from multitude of bad scenarios trying to kill us. With that said, I would bet the impact rating of a helmet with a GoPro VHB mount is less than with a roller mount that spans out the focused force of the impact. Since you beg to differ, and obviously have done a lot of research in the impact ratings of helmets, I really would love to hear how you feel two small "vents" in 1/4" thick ABS drastically changes the impact rating. Now, adding a GoPro in any way, completely kills the impact rating. This solution at least reduces an line entanglement us skydivers fear.
@@Gethypoxic who are you to challenge all the manufacturers of helmets stating not to modify you helmet? If you disagree with them, give them a call and tell them to drill holes in the helmet! And congratulations that you have to deal with multitude of bad scenarios trying to kill you. I almost start to feel sorry for you. But hey, I am also a pilot trying to take care of my safety as much as possible within extreme sports.

Taking the liner out is a pain in the ass. Great video and thanks.

Piece of cake after watching this video.

Will the visor open all the way with the camera there?
It opened up far enough that I personally could not see the visor. You can always slide the mount back slightly for how tall your face may be.
is the mount compatible with a gopro 8?
I used a spoon instead of a fork to pry off the foam

Buy a safety helmet, drill holes in it and screw the mount on it. - Way to go...

Thierry R who’s saying I haven’t talked to the manufacturer? There is a reason I know a lot about the impact testing. Be safe out there.
