Imma gonna get a cam mount, is that stuck on using 3M tape?

Depends where you want to stick it too. Usually it's just 3M tape.

I have that stuck on my karting helmet...seems to be still secure after 1 year.. But on motorcycle, I prefer to use my mirror stalk ball mount. More secure..and more adjustments.....and I can loop a safety wire on it just in case the mount fails.

Also don't like the additional weight and aero compromise having a cam on the helmet.

Yes but 3m tape also has its grades/levels...make sure to get the gray outdoor tape

Mine has been stuck on my helmet for about 3 or 4 years

Good point regarding the weight and aero on helmet, but I prefer the helmet POV since it shows when you are checking your six.

Guess it is which compromise that I want.

Yeah don't forget to match the surface you're mounting on, there's the curved or flat mount.

If i have the money, I'd go for Insta360 One X3. You can do that 'follow me' video on the fly. But it is abit pricey.

for curved surface on my helmet, I use this epoxy putty to mold the exact shape of the helmet curve and my gopro mount surface.

some recent reviews says that DJI Osmo Action 3 is much better than Gopro.
(and cheaper)

Did the same thing for my helmets...but my epoxy putty is stuck directly to the mount unlike the video...just had to rough it up kow2 n make sure to push the putty into the grooves/scratches on the mount.

After applying 3m tape i stuck it on and clamped it overnight..its been stuck there for 3-4 years..i used the cheap bondite epoxy putty (rm10)

I didn't stick it directly onto the helmet

Use 3m heavy duty double sided tape on both sides.
Still holding, almost 4 years now.

I have the akaso 7 r2. Unusable audio. But for dash cam purposes... It's fine. I have a video link somewhere on the dominar thread, if you want to check the video and stabilization quality, as that is an off road gravel ride.

Gopro would be the gold standard, or any of Insta360's 360 cam offering is that is more your thing. Try to get at least a Gopro 8 and above. Ideally 9 and above.

Vaseline is a pretty good release agent for these epoxy btw. Put Vaseline on your helmet surface and the epoxy putty won't stick to it.

Still not as good as a Gopro to me. I use Gopro pretty often as I fly FPV drones.

I biasa already.
I'm wearing a relatively light weight helmet ( rpha70).
With the helmet cam and intercom, no more light weight. But used to it, so no issues.
