My second helmet ( hjc IS17), bought in 2016 is due to be changed. It's my spare helmet now. I usually change it on the 6th or 7th year.

Ikea shelve.
Mine I put it standing.

You mean the base ?

I use the epoxy paste to make the customized based to stick the GoPro mount onto the helmet surface (shape).
Because of the curvaceous is not the same as the GoPro mount base, I have to customise it.
If I just rely on double tape, it will eventually drop.

Helmet cam
Get action cam

Either one of these two will be very good
Cheaper and better than GoPro in some way
Insta360 one RS , about rm1200
DJI osmo action3, about rm1600

True
My first action cam was a scam sj8 pro
Good stuff.

If want budget can consider sj11 active. About rm600+.

Only downside is the 150deg fov
Would prefer wider like sj8 pro , 170deg fov

No. Standard package you will not get the 360 lens.
You need to swap out the standard lens to the 360 to do 360 recording.
Rm1200 is without the 360 lens..
If you want 360 you need to get the twins pack

This is one of the reason why I have two sets of cameras

Helmet cam ( action cam)
Bike dashcam ( one of the reason I install this is to have a rear camera ).

get well known branded helmets.

and i got two buddies. proudly show me their Shoei X-Spirit Marquez edition.
about RM500 or 600 also.




oh yes, just get branded entry level HJC or Scorpion and other branded ones is good enough.
Much better than buying fakes and also those with just with Sirim Stickers.

what sort of safety tests sirim do on these helmets?
curious.

You mean the linings/paddings ?

Remove and hand wash it with mild clothes detergent .

However my helmet no smell because I always wear headscarf.

Yeah.
Wearable items never buy online. That includes the gloves as well.
Unless you are buying the same model.

Though foam spray is a cleaner , but not enough. It's more masking the odour.

make sure on that day you get good strong sun.
if not the smell! LOL

reminds me of this morning after i refuel my bike.
There was another biker waiting for my pump. while waiting , he removed his helmet.
as i was pushing my bike a bit forward (to let him use the pump), i ter-smell his helmet. damn strong the odour.
i bet this smell sticks to his hair.

my tips to you guys is to wear a headscarf or bandana before putting on your helmet. get the thin type.
this will save you a lot of trouble of washing helmet lining.

but it will be something if you crash at that speed.
LOL

The pinlock on my rpha70 starting to degrade .

Harvey riders especially.
See this. I apply this to open face helmet as well.
No face protection.
