So I have my go pro mounted on the curved adhesive helmet mount. But when I go off a jump or land after a rail, it flops down and points downward. How do i get it to stay still?

Thanks

tighten the screw as much as you can, but not to the point where you can't unscrew it.

Hit the weights so you can tighten it better than my grandma :)

go to a dollar store and find a short handle star screwdriver
this way you can tighten it really tight and you dont have a 8 inch screw driver on you
it works for me

mount it upside down so it hangs down from the hinge, then just flip the video in finalcut or whatever.

wow quality answers in here...

I saw in Dendrites movie this year that some of the skiers had what looked like a rubber washer or ring between the screw and the mount. might want to give that a shot. Personally, I wanted to do this but I've yet to have a problem with the go pro slipping
