Fox V3 RS Helmet Chin Mount for Action Cameras

The flexible, "crash resistant" magnetic visor system of these Fox V3 RS helmets goes perfectly with the flexible crash proof chin mounts we make for your action camera. Perfectly designed to compliment the curves and style of your helmet, our 3D printed chin mounts give you the perfect point of view footage for your dirt bike adventures!

Bell Moto 10 Helmet Chin Mount for Action Cameras

Not to brag too much, but we feel that our 3D printed chin mounts are worthy of being attached to the Bell Moto-10. They are designed to extend far enough from the chinbar to allow the camera to have plenty of “tip back” angle for when you are standing on your pegs. This tip back angle allows you to align the camera with your eyeport on the helmet to get a parallel view of the terrain - a little of the bike, a little of the horizon - you know, the perfect perspective.

Simpson Ghost & Mod Bandit Helmet Chin Mounts

What these Simpson helmets don’t have is a convenient place to mount a GoPro or similar action camera, due to the Simpson “tough-guy styling”, which we are going to guess is the weird angular shape of the chinbar. Read how we solved this issue with a unique chin mount that offers the perfect point of view. 

O'Neal 2 Series Helmet Chin Mount

If you have an O’Neal 2 Series helmet, we have a unique precision fit chin mount for your lid.

Overcoming Asthma in Hard Enduro Riding

Leatt 3.5 & 5.5 Helmet Chin Mount For Action Cameras

It was a no-brainer for us to design our chin mounts for the Leatt 3.5 and 5.5 helmets to extend far enough from the chinbar to allow the camera to have enough “tip back” to allow you to adjust the angle for when you are standing on your pegs. Tip back angle allows you to align the camera with your eyeport on the helmet to get a parallel view of the terrain - a little of the bike, a little of the horizon - you know, the perfect perspective.

Teaching the Next Generation of WannaBes

Teaching kids to love doing difficult things is a challenge. But, we all learned from our parents how to pursue our passion for adventure and if you keep at it, you’ll pass that passion, and the skill sets required, on to your own kids too. That is, if you’re willing to keep working at it.

Is a 2021 KTM 500 EXC-F worth it? | 70 Hour Enduro Build Review | the good, the bad, the expensive 😲

New bikes are only new until that first ride, so we like to think of bike ownership as more of a journey. Ultimately it is the time you spend with the machine that should bring you the most joy, so why not make it fit your riding style and enjoy the trip.
