Drift Ghost X.
it's not fully waterproof without the case, but i rarely ride in the wet so it's no concern for me.
This is the video view while mounted.
Its a run-of-the-mill helmet that has been in my closet for 7 years, to tell you the truth I don't even know where and when I bought it. I have 2 others that I use when the weather is cold, they are more protective.
Yeah, but please don't come up with sermons, there's far worse dangers lurking on the road like tractor-trailers or deer crossing my path than a tiny hole in my helmet.
I think he has one of these:
Don't forget, his bike is also equipped with axle sticks.

until you hit your head? no one has an accident until they do.
It's for the ventilator tube
You can custom mold a mount with some marine epoxy, then use 3M to hold your newly fabricated mount to the helmet. You want it mounted right in the center and with no arms so you have no vibrations. The Hero 7 can be had for $300 (Kijiji) and the quality/stabilization is great. Personally, I don't like riding with a cam on the helmet since it feels awkward. But, once in a while its cool to get some footage. I much prefer the 1 inch ball mount I have on the handle bars. Give you lots of flexibility with mounting options. If you want any pictures of it, let me know and I'll dig some up

Trust me the last thing you need to worry about is the 3M adhesive on genuine GoPro mounts to fail. I even ground down the plastic on the arm of the part that clips into the mount with a Dremel so that it's easier to snap off if it catches on something in the event of a crash, a solid enough arm attached to one of those mounts could get snagged and provide enough torsion to break your neck.

It's not like he added a stress riser in the shell and a bolt pointed right at his chin. I don't see how that could possibly be a problem.
They use them on airplanes! At hundreds of MILES per hour. Trust me, 120kph on a motorcycle isn't going to make it fall off.
Drilling a hole in your helmet has to be right up there with axel sticks. ?

The gopro on the warbirds vampire has never fallen off. It does tend to flop over at 300 to 400 mph and look at the sky for the rest of the flight. So, dont exceed 300 mph and you will be ok.
