Reddit mentions of AmazonBasics Head Strap Camera Mount for GoPro

I used [this](https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics\-Strap\-Camera\-Mount\-GoPro/dp/B00R4YCKIK/ref=sr\_1\_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1526424658&sr=8\-3&keywords=gopro\+head\+strap](https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Strap-Camera-Mount-GoPro/dp/B00R4YCKIK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1526424658&sr=8-3&keywords=gopro+head+strap) head strap and it worked pretty well. If you play a drum you'll have to angle it like straight down. If you want to see the video PM me.

edit: formatting fail fixed

Hero 7 black is the way to go. The hypersmooth stabilization makes it worth it.

Accessories to get:

First of all, get a gopro plus trial. It gives you 50% off of batteries and other accessories, but not chargers or microsd cards.

Grab a few extra batteries. With the trial, they're $10 each.

The dual bay charger is well worth the price.

These are the microsd cards I use in my H7B. They're fast, reliable and cheap. Also on gopro's recommended list of cards to use.

I use tempered glass protectors for the lens and rear screen and they don't affect video quality at all. They went on very easily and the lens cap is a nice bonus.

For a case, I currently use this one, but the official case looks good too.

I use this frame mount and love it. The front round piece can be removed if desired; I took it off as I don't need it for what I use my gopro for. It includes mounting options for both standard threaded mounts and gopro mounts. And the back slides on and off.

If you need a head mount, the amazonbasics one is identical to the official gopro branded mount aside from the logo (I have both).

Completely optional, but I really like these aluminum knobs over the standard plastic ones.

​

That about covers everything I use. Hope this helps some!

I use a headstrap that I wrap around my helmet.

Specifically these.

It's an Iconntechs action camera with a headstrap

I use like a headmount: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R4YCKIK

The little mount thing yeah at first its mostly difficult to adjust to get right angle, so you have right amount of sky vs ground. But for most part you adjust once and then it stays at that angle. I use a Yi4k+ and you can also check frame connecting to wifi with phone.

But then yeah you do need to change your behavior just slightly.. trying to look with your head a tiny bit more.. instead of like 70% eyes 30% head try to do like 50% eyes 50% head and you stay in frame. You actually still want to use your eyes because then you get heli moving from one edge of frame to the other and not keep it dead center. Only other unnatural thing is looking down.. you tend to look up with your head but if you come in real close its more natural to look down with just eyes and you need to remind yourself to tilt your head down.

I mean I guess it sounds complicated, and its not totally fullproof.. but IMO its easy. Usually I just record like 5-6 packs and one of them is decent enough. You can also adjust FOV on camera... use a wider angle at first and then try more narrow FOV when you get used to it... I don't know with helis though they're so big, with quadcopters generally wide angle quad is way too small.

And if anything I think its even more important for 3D fllying.. you can change directions so easily the camera man always ends up delayed. Your current video I admit look good for most part, although camera movement is still delayed.. its not like some videos that are garbage when camera guy is just too slow to keep up.

Quadmovr uses a gopro headstrap.. I just think this video looks so much cleaner than 99% of helicopter videos.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIKJfpy_s_k

The camera movement just is aligned so well.. and you can see he's moving around in frame, he's looking with his eyes, but just a little extra head movement keeps quad in frame.

Eg another video, I dunno I just love this sorta look..

I'm just always advocating for headmount setups, lol. ;)

Quad here as well. In your next video, if it's a solid hobby search for a used GoPro camera. You can use a headband camera mount, which made me feel weird, but got the job done (see below) Or a bicycle/handlebar mount that can hook to your footrest or frame of the chair. Thanks for the ride.

My headband ride

Assuming handlebar mount ride

My fav, power soccer

Thanks! The head mount is the AmazonBasics one. It's $7.50 but it's an add-on item so it'll only ship with an order over $25.
