Product Description
The New Vented Helmet Mount has been given a serious upgrade in how the mount tightens and clamps down to your helmet. Find your mounting location, slide the straps through, and cinch them down. Slide your ContourHD or VholdR Wearable Camcorder on the rails and you are ready to go. Oh yeah, and tilt the camera forward or back to find the best angle.

 Quality product April 8, 2010
Jeremy B. Kough
The product performed to my expectations. The mount secured easly to my Bell Variant helmit and the camera slid in and held fast in the bracket without any play. The mount can be tilted either up or down, just like Vholdr calims. The seller was very responsive in delivering the devise. I would do business with the product manufacture or this seller again.
 A Good Mount For Your VholdR February 4, 2010

This is a good mount and will work as described and as expected.
I have also purchased the goggle strap mount (easy, portable and convenient), the flat disk mount (too flat, helmets aren't), and the 1/4-20 tripod mount (too bulky).
This mount has a slightly curved base, which is appropriate for helmet use. It has two strong straps that can attach to holes within a decent range of distance from the mount, and easy pulled snug and locked.
The mount also has a three-position tilt that allows small adjustment of the camera aim after the mount is strapped on. This is useful, and I wish it were adjustable even more. That's the biggest problem with the VholdR mounting systems in general: not adjustable enough, such that you have to get the mounts aimed perfectly despite hot having a viewfinder or camera (with the laser pointers) in them at time of mounting. I wish VholdR mounts had rotation on at least one axis (the lens has one axis, which is good).
 Don't buy this if you value your camera. May 14, 2010

Like another reviewer states, the pin will pop out once any tension is put on the straps. There is no stop for it and you will likely lose your camera. This is a serious design flaw but the tilting concept is good. Luckily mine popped out before I even used it and I promptly made my own mount.
Pin Broke Off the Base Right Away!!! May 21, 2010

Good tilting concept but absolutely poor design and plastic material on the base saddle.
The pin which holds the slider to the base of the mount broke off right after I landed
a jump off a 4 feet ramp while snowboarding. The plastic saddle is too weak/thin to hold
the camera securely. The side of the camera touches and exerts some pressure against
the base of the mount which causes the pin to pop out from its saddle.
Don't buys this! Vholdr makes good cameras but this accessory is absolutely disappointing.
Look elsewhere or wait until they correct and improve this design.
Flawed design March 9, 2010
Richard Singer (Bay Area, CA)
I just received my VholdR helmet mount. After strapping it to my bike helmet, I noticed that the pin holding the two plastic pieces together, slid to one side, allowing the other side to come apart. There is no provision for the pin to stay put, allowing the two-piece construction to randomly come apart. This is particularly dangerous if the supplied leash is not used - potentially resulting in a lost or damaged camera. At very least, the construction as supplied, may not serve as a secure camera mount and may induce a shaky video.
I fixed the problem by removing the pin and putting a rubber-band between the pin and the half-round seat in the camera-mount, then cutting the rubber band after the pin was mostly slid into the helmet-mount. Then I used a thin-bladed screw driver to push the pin completely into the helmet-mount. This is something of a temporary solution, as the rubber will eventually degrade and loosen. But for now, I have an interference fit between the pin and the plastic parts.
