Are you an avid skier looking to capture those epic ski runs with a GoPro camera? Attaching your GoPro to your ski helmet is a popular and practical way to capture amazing footage while keeping your hands free. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of attaching a GoPro to your ski helmet.

What You’ll Need

  • Ski helmet with ventilation holes or a mounting system
  • GoPro camera and housing
  • Mounting buckle and adhesive mount (usually included with the camera)
  • Safety tether
  • Helmet extension arm (optional)
  • Alcohol wipes or cleaning solution

Step 1: Choose the Mounting Location

Before attaching your GoPro, determine the optimal location for the mount on your helmet. Look for a spot that offers a clear view and won’t obstruct your vision or skiing experience. Most helmets have ventilation holes that can be utilized, while others come with built-in mounting systems. If your helmet doesn’t have a designated mounting area, the top or side of the helmet are popular choices.

Step 2: Clean the Mounting Surface

Ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry for a secure attachment. Use alcohol wipes or a cleaning solution to remove any dirt, oils, or debris that may affect the adhesive’s effectiveness. Allow it to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 3: Prepare the Adhesive Mount

Take the adhesive mount and peel off the backing, exposing the sticky side. Be cautious not to touch the adhesive as it may affect its stickiness. Attach the mounting buckle to the adhesive mount, ensuring it is securely fastened.

Step 4: Apply the Adhesive Mount to the Helmet

Press the adhesive mount firmly onto the chosen location on your helmet. Apply pressure for at least 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Depending on the adhesive’s instructions, you may need to leave it untouched for a period to allow it to adhere properly.

Step 5: Attach the GoPro to the Mounting Buckle

Secure the GoPro camera to the mounting buckle by aligning the bottom of the camera with the buckle and then rotating it until it locks into place. Give it a firm tug to ensure it is safely attached.

Step 6: Use a Safety Tether

For added security, thread a safety tether through the designated holes on the camera housing and secure it to a stable point on your helmet. This way, if the adhesive mount fails or the camera detaches, it will remain attached to your helmet.

Step 7 (Optional): Helmet Extension Arm

If you prefer a different camera angle or want to capture a wider field of view, consider using a helmet extension arm. This accessory attaches to the adhesive mount and allows you to adjust the camera’s angle and position to your liking.

Now that you’ve followed this step-by-step guide, you’re ready to hit the slopes and capture stunning footage using your GoPro camera attached to your ski helmet. Remember to always prioritize safety and test the stability of the attachment before skiing at high speeds. Happy skiing and happy filming!
