There are several ways to mount your Viosport camera to your helmet. In most cases, the best
mounting position is to have the camera parallel to the ground; however, since most of your
filming will be done while you are in an action-forward position (example: riding a bike), the
camera may point slightly upward when your helmet is resting on a flat surface.
Here are some examples of different helmets and various mounting positions.

• When the Viosport Camera is mounted to your helmet, keep your head steady and try not to
rotate rapidly from side to side. Keeping steady will create video that is easier to watch. Most
riders choose to film from their helmet. Mounting the cam to your head provides smoother video,
as you act as a shock absorber.
• For compelling video, use a frame of reference, such as another person in front of you.
• When possible, keep the sun at your back.
• If you want to push your videos to the next level, try switching up your views. Our various
mounting systems allow you to put the helmet cam on just about any surface you can think of.
• If you have the need for speed and lead the pack – mount the camera facing behind you to
capture the agony as your friends try to catch up. You can accomplish this by mounting the
Viosport Camera to your helmet pointing behind you or by mounting it using our ClamperPod2
and Flex Mount.
• For sports involving handlebars try the RT Angle Hook and Loop Mount. Set up the camera
using this mount so that the camera is pointed back at you from your handlebars.
• The lower you mount the camera the faster the shot will look. Try mounting the camera on your
shoe, your pedal, a ski, a snowboard or low on your vehicles frame. It’s never looked faster.
