[2023] The 5 Best Helmet Chin Mounts Ranked - Pros and Cons

(We know... this isn't a chin mount, but the stock photo was free)

Guide to the best helmet chin mounts
Your first question is probably, "How do you come up with your rankings?" The fact is, we are one of the first original helmet chin mount companies in the market and one of the few chin mount companies that make professional and original products. That being said, we saw the companies before us (there were two of them), and we've seen all the new companies since. Let's just say, we know a thing or two about chin mounts.

Let's jump right into it. 

1. MotoRadds FLEX Motorcycle Helmet Chin Mount

Okay, we know. It's a little bit of shameless self-promotion. However, we genuinely stand by this ranking. Let's look at why THIS MotoRadds helmet chin mount comes in first (we used to rank ourselves second when we only had the Original Universal Mount, but we learned the shortcomings and made a better one).











Mounting Method: Our FLEX chin mount, like most GoPro branded mounts, uses authentic 3M VHB adhesive. With a tensile strength of up to 70lbs, this tape is nothing short of miraculous. We've tested lifting barbell weights, lifting electric bicycles and pulling cars with just a cable strung through the mount, and it passes every test! The best part about this mount and that sets us apart from others, is that it's totally FLEXIBLE. That means you can bend it and mold it to any shape helmet, or windscreen, or tail cowling, hey, get creative!

Pros: Center chin placement. Evenly distributed weight. Minimal wind drag. Flexible silicone. Aesthetic design. Silicone acts as vibration dampener. Super strong. Easy to set up. Lifetime warranty. Amazing customer support.

Cons: Semi-permanent. Difficult to remove. Not suitable for helmets with a crease directly down the center (AGV Pista, Scorpion EXO r420, Biltwell Lane Splitter, etc.)

Why did we rank this first? The design is sleek. It's got an aggressive aesthetic to match your motorcycle and helmet and it's and very aerodynamic. Unlike homemade, 3D printed, mounts or glue jobs that end up looking like a tumorous growth on your helmet, this actually looks decent. With smooth lines and tapering edges, it blends back into the helmet fairly naturally. The universal design allows you to use this for almost all full face streetbike helmets. It's made of quality silicone that will weather the test of time. A plus to that silicone is that it's vibration dampening, meaning less shaky videos and less strain on the camera. It also maintains a strong 4.4/5 star rating on Amazon with nearly 200 reviews at the time of writing. At less than $30 on the MotoRadds website, it's a fairly good value for an original designed and patented product backed by a lifetime warranty and total customer support. It's truly a buy-it-for-life product that won't fail you.

2. ProShot Helmet Cam Mounting System

Mounting Method: This mount actually uses quite a unique mounting method. It uses a base layer of 3M Dual-Lock attached to the helmet with adhesive. If you're unfamiliar, 3M Dual-Lock is basically an advanced version of Velcro. Then, the mount itself is also equipped with 3M Dual-Lock. This makes for quick and easy removal of the mount when necessary.

Pros: This mount appears to be made of a high quality, but versatile, plastic. It's very intuitive to set up. It incorporates a triple loop female connector that all GoPros should be compatible with. It's centered on the chin. It offers ventilation holes. Extremely secure.


Cons: Only suitable for motocross style helmets, not compatible with full face, sportbike style, helmets. Quite bulky. Adhesive 3M Dual-Lock may be semipermanent or at least, very difficult to remove.

Why did we rank this second? We ranked this product second because of how versatile it is. The flexible plastic allows this chin mount to adjust to various motocross helmet widths. It's also quite well reviewed and ranked on Amazon, coming in with a 4.5 rating at time of writing. This is also one of the two helmet mounts that was in the market before us. At $29.99, you can't go wrong with this well produced mount for motocross helmets.

3. SoPro Mount
Why did we rank this third? The SoPro is the last remaining veteran of the helmet chin mount industry that hasn't been listed yet. Let's see why it takes third.

Mounting Method: Securing straps that tie through the visor/goggle area, out the chin opening and around the front chin area. This makes for a completely non-permanent, easily removable, mounting option.

Pros: This mount is made of a strong, aluminum, skeleton. It's padded in foam on either side. The buckle clip base is riveted through the aluminum for a very secure base. The mount is fully removable and easily reusable. Center chin placement makes for evenly distributed weight. Easy application.

Cons: Not great for helmets with visors. Because the straps run through the goggle/visor area, if you're using this product with any full face helmet that has a closing visor, the straps will keep it from fully closing. The aesthetic isn't great. Due to the quite large amount of real estate this product utilizes, it's very non-discreet. 

So why did we rank this third? Well, there are lots of great things about it and it's one of the most universal mounts available, but with total universality comes more compromises for each individual helmet. That being said, this product comes in at a 4.0 rating on Amazon with 285 reviews at time of writing. Between it's 4.0 rating, and its $39.95 price point, this is the lowest rated and highest priced product we have ranked so far. Don't let that scare you though, a 4.0 is nothing to balk at.

4. TELESIN Helmet Chin Mount
The TELESIN chin mount comes fourth in the ranks. Let's check it out.

Mounting Method: Securing straps that tie through the visor/goggle area, out the chin opening and around the front chin area. This makes for a completely non-permanent, easily removable, mounting option.

Pros: Cheap option. Good quality. Aesthetic design.

Cons: Not great for helmets with visors. Because the straps run through the goggle/visor area, if you're using this product with any full face helmet that has a closing visor, the straps will keep it from fully closing. Potentially patent infringing.

So fourth place. This is at least a quality product. Professionally produced by a legitimate company. To be completely transparent, we had no experience with this mount, so we bought one to have a hands on experience with it. It was the only way to give it a fair shot. This mount is very similar to the SoPro mount in it's functionality and overall design. Unfortunately, we did rank it last because it is basically a direct knockoff of their idea. Being in the mount market since nearly the beginning, we saw SoPro as one of the first products in this niché category. That being said, we do not condone Chinese companies ripping off and undercutting original patented ideas. Everything aside, it's a decent quality product. We didn't give it a shot for long term use, but our initial reactions are that it's a decent product, but like the SoPro mount, best for MX motorcycle helmets, not for full face, closed visor helmets. If you're going to use this style of mount, we highly recommend SoPro first. They invented this product and use good quality aluminum. Their product should last a lifetime, TELESIN might last a year. We'll keep you updated.

5. Chinmounts.com, Ridetechmoto.com, and other 3D Printed Mounts

Unfortunately, 3D printed, while great in certain applications, is not good at all as a helmet chin mount. Not only because the cheap, stringy, filament is so susceptible to weathering - UV rays, wind, rain, etc. weakening it extremely fast. It's also because these are generally just being printed in someone's home, often using questionable adhesives that don't even stick. Breaking at weak spots. So much more. There's countless posts and videos of these 3D printed mounts having issues, falling off, and customers stuck with no refunds. Read our article about the shady lack of support and prohibitive return requirements from chinmounts.com to see some of the risks you're taking by using these shady 3D printed, homemade, mounts. Or, just take a look at their TrustPilot, since they suppress bad reviews on their website. All we can advise, is stay far, far, away from these mounts. Choose any of the ones above before you even consider a 3D printed mount that will drop your expensive camera on the side of the freeway.

What do you think? What helmet chin mount have you used for your GoPro? Do you agree or disagree with our rankings? We hope this article gives you a chance to become more familiar with the current options out there so you can make an informed decision and purchase the best helmet chin mount for you.
