Today we are unboxing and installing the MotoRadds Flex Slim GoPro Mount on a RPHA 91 Solid Modular Helmet MotoRadds link: Coming soon after being verified
Thank you for this 4K video and the outtakes xD! I have some questions: 1. Did the primer leave any marks on your helmet? 2. Isn't there a wait time for the primer to dry? 3. How has the mount held up so far? 4. Did the tape start bubbling / Did it start peeling off of the edges? 5. If a heavier camera system is mounted (Say an Insta360 One R Camera with a metal cage and some heatsinks), do you think that the center portion of the mount might start drooping and start to peel off the adhesive? 6. How good are the plastic mounts for the gopro? Is it the shiny brittle kind of plastic or is it the matte plastic which offers a little bit of flexibility and is a lot more durable?
1. Nope no marks 2. I let it dry, before I proceed with install 3. Held up pretty good so far 4. No bubbling at this time 5. Today road with a GoPro and a mic adapter with no issues 6. Made with good plastics, more of a hard rubber, with a thin metal strip that run end to end inside. Hope this helps
Thank you for the response! I ended up using the existing mount that I had but I moulded a putty to match the shape of my helmet and used it as an intermediate adapter of sorts. I was also able to get the primer for $1 and used 3M VHB. So the arrangement goes like this: Helmet Surface + VHB + Moulded Putty + VHB + Gorpo Adapter. I must say that the primer did a great job. However, the primer if not applied accurately (exceeding the bounds) will leave a very thin layer on the helmet. I can live with that.
Great install
