Mounting the INNOVV H5
Hello to all the INNOVV Lovers and Users, the point is I have seen glue plates fail due to the heat we have here in Australia, where we now rely on a glue plate to hold a H5 on to a helmet which it does quiet well after you follow the instructions.
As I mentioned earlier, I have seen a glue plate fail during last summer for a bike intercom system, (the reason it was not lost was the wiring) whereas my other helmet uses a bracket that fits on the outside of the helmet and slid up between the liner and the helmet sell so you have no issue of it coming off.
My thought if INNOVV could make a mounting system that mounted that was attached to your helmet similar to some of the helmet intercom systems that would alleviate any fear of the H5 mount melting off.
I am aware of the different helmet sizes could be issue but the only change would be no glue plate with the mounting point secured on your helmet using the same gimbal for the H5.
This just food for thought

Hi Herman,
A mounting system could be a solution. I am just curious about the forces that would be exerted on such a system because the H5 sticks out more and catches wind than an intercom system. Perhaps Innovv’s R&D would like to think about this.With other camera systems I only see adhesive mounting systems.
My experience with adhesive plates is that you have to degrease the helmet very well. Preheat the place on the helmet where you are going to stick it with a hair dryer. Also heat the adhesive strip with a hair dryer. Then stick the adhesive strip and press firmly for a while. Do not immediately put a load on the adhesive strip.-
The other camera types seem to mount at the front of the helmet so in most cases you will have wind deflection off of the front of your bike or wind shield.
As you mentioned the critical part of mounting is the preparation of the area you wish to mount the H5 in most cases on the one side of your helmet yes you will have some wind deflection up to a certain point, but as mentioned if it is extremely hot weather the glue plate possibly could give while riding.
A better option would be a U type of bracket with one side slid up fitting between the helmet and helmet liner, the other side having the same mounting point as what is currently glued for the H5, the only downside I can see different helmet sizes and where you want the camera, the plus side is the fact that the camera is secure no matter what the weather condition and would be easy to move from one helmet to another when you replace your helmet.
