Nice.

Where did you place the USB charger / power bank?

I installed a usb port on my bike right next to the meter..

If.im using powerbank itll be in a zip lock bag n placed in my jackets internal pocket

I have both.
Dashcam. And helmet cam. 
Damn paranoid. Lol

I even told my family members if one day I bike accident and rip.  Take the footage from my dash cam and helmet cam ( provided it's not stolen).

Thats one advantage of the dashcam....not easy to steal and sdcard access oso not so direct.

You'll get used to it

My full face helmet weigh about 1500g only.
Light.
But with the camera mounted on it.  Can feel the weight difference.  But I got used to it.
*
thats the thing.... my atom sv is 1.7kg+... i mounted a lighter than gopro sj4000....

i couldnt get used to it and it became so uncomfortable that i removed it and totally stopped using that helmet terus a few years ago... n sold the helmet about a month ago hahahahahahha

Haha...the atom is front heavy. Adding a camera on the chin bar gets it even more unbalanced. That's probably your issue.... Not the overall weight.

I used the atom for like 6months....it's been in storage since .....
*
yeah... putting the cam on the chin bar started to give me massive headaches whereas before that i was fine.

even without the camera attached n just the mounting on it.. it already gave me headaches...

jual laaaaaaa.... i sold my 4-5 yr old Atom SV for like RM150 je.... today post in whatsapp group.. 2 hours later sold lol....just wanted to get rid of it... never really liked that helmet even before i put the mount on.

Anyone got recommendation for action cam mount for helmet?
Currently have handlebar mount, now looking for helmet mount that dont cover the chin vent on helmet
*
Make ur own with epoxy putty to match the curves of ur helmet....mount on chin bar to the side if u dont want to cover vent.

Utub has vids on how to do it.....adjust according to where u wanna mount it
