Lind of random but i had an idea, I am looking to attach a GoPro to one of those remote-control helis. What mount do you think I could use in this situation? I was thinking a flat adhesive one to the bottom,

Thanks NS!

adhesives would work, or maybe even try the suction cup mount

seeing as you probably don't want much more weight I would do what you said and use the adhesive, but if you could find a spot you could always use the pole mount.

Someone know how to put the Gopro on my helmet to film like Tom Wallisch in the DEW TOUR EDIT.. With adhesive?, Vented strap?, or the other strap..

I have a giro shiv.. so the vented strap can go on top and front of helmet..

i thought you meant this one,

Midwinter in Sweden from Henning Sandström on Vimeo.



But there are few companies who make these applications already, they are not cheap but it make for some incredile photography.

But my first question is WHAT TYPE OF HELICOPTER ARE YOU USING!?!?!

Because you need to have a fairly powerful copter in order to be able to lift itself as well as the 3/4 pound camera.
