Position A Motorcycle Helmet Camera

Mounting a camera to your motorcycle helmet can be quickly done.


Digital technology has advanced photography across a number of fronts. Helmet cameras are small self-contained cameras that can be attached to a motorcycle helmet and record video or stills while the driver competes in a race or other event. Knowing where to place the camera for the best possible view of the events and perspective can make a significant difference in the quality of the pictures or video.


Instructions


1. Put the helmet that you are going to mount the camera to on your head and climb onto the motorcycle you will be using.


2. Position yourself as you would if you were driving the motorcycle.


3. Place the camera on the motorcycle helmet, hold it in place using tape and take a sample picture, or if it is video, attach the camera to a monitor to see the angle and perspective that the camera will record.


4. Make adjustments until you find the ideal position for the images you want to record. Using an erasable marker, draw a line at the front and rear of the camera indicating where it will be attached.


5. Cut a piece of Velcro tape and apply one side to the helmet and the other to camera you will be using. Attach the camera, and you are ready to start taking pictures.
