Thank you for your helpIf that's the only reason you want it, why not put on the bike one of those cheap and very small chinese cams?
I have one that is a small cube and when connected to the bike, as soon as you start the engine it starts saving and stops when you turn off the engine. It saves a file every 5 mins or so and if the memory card gets full, it starts overwriting the oldest files. This way it never runs out of battery and you have in video the last X minutes (depending on the size of your memory card) of your ride.
Even a cam without image stabilization and making videos at 1080p is good enough for that.
If you want something a bit better but without paying the price of a GoPro or Insta cam, take a look at Akaso cameras.
I have a V50X and it's a nice camera for the price.
Must admit I don't want to fit the camera to the top of the helmet. Not sure the Wolfgang ones will fit to the chin or side of the helmetI had one; they're basically just a Go Pro rip off. Mine came with loads of fittings. It worked ok and would be fine for what you want it for. I preferred fixing mine to my bike but that is awkward for a fully-faired one, I imagine.
try this site. there maybe be a better european equivilent. https://chinmounts.com/ they also sell all the swivel attachments for the action cam to get the desired angles so not just the chin mounts themselves.I have a Rapha 11 helmet. Anyone know what cameras will fit on the chin area please?
Thank you. Very helpful 👍try this site. there maybe be a better european equivilent. https://chinmounts.com/ they also sell all the swivel attachments for the action cam to get the desired angles so not just the chin mounts themselves.
My plan was to stick one of these on with a go pro or insta 360 (ace pro) cam on my next helmet purchase. For longer trips you may have to think about bringing extra batterys or using a small power bank in your jacket.
They are baisicly 3D printed pieces of plastic designed to accomodate specific helmets. If you had a 3d printer you could probably knock it up, I couldent be arsed though id rather just pay for one.
From what I understand is that these chin mounts accomodate the adapters, the adapters are standardised and should fit any go pro, insta360 or chinese knock off action cam you can find. Hope that helps! Disclaimer: I have done a bit of reasearch on it but have not pulled the trigger yet.

even with all the stabilization mc guffins in the action cam? really?I have a chin mount but it doesn't go well with my driving style... I move the head alot, looking to the left/right, to the mirrors, moving the body... in the end, the video is not pleasant to watch.
I think the body mounts are the best as it eliminates part of the movements.
However, if you don't move much, it might work with you.
Yes. The problem is not the stabilization.even with all the stabilization mc guffins in the action cam? really?
I rarely look back at any footage, only the odd time. Last time I did was when someone nearly collected me running a red light. local police did nothing.
