Motomounts Review: The Best Way to Mount an Action Camera to Your Helmet
We tested Motomounts' chin mount for stability, ease of installation and footage quality compared to standard top-of-helmet camera mounts.
Marcus Feld
Tech Deals Analyst
Most riders default to a top-of-helmet action camera mount without questioning it, but chin-mounted footage is noticeably smoother — closer to the rider's actual field of view and less prone to the bobbing motion that plagues top mounts.
Footage stability
The difference in footage quality was the clearest result of testing — chin-mounted shots stayed noticeably steadier during acceleration and cornering, where top-mounted footage tends to bounce with head movement.
Installation
The mount attached securely to the helmet's chin bar without drilling or permanent modification, and took well under ten minutes to install and dial in.
Limitations
This only works with full-face helmets that have a proper chin bar — modular and open-face helmet riders will need to stick with a different mounting position.
Our verdict
For full-face helmet riders serious about ride footage, Motomounts' chin mount is a clear upgrade over a standard top mount — the stability difference alone justifies switching.
What we liked
- + Chin position produces noticeably more stable footage than top-mounted alternatives
- + Installation took under ten minutes with no drilling required
- + Compatible with most popular action camera mounting systems
Where it falls short
- − Only fits helmet styles with a full chin bar
- − Slightly more visible than a low-profile top mount
