Mounted both Drift Ghosts on my helmet.One facing forward and one facing the rear and mounted both remotes on the top of the handlebar mount.

Went out for a test run with the 2 Drift Ghost mounted to my helmet. Rear View on the video the rear mounted camera was a little to high have adjusted it so it should be spot on. The front view camera the mount needs to be moved more forward to be able to view more to the right side works okay but more view to the left than needed. Will have to order a curved drift mount to solve the problem but its an easy fix. So heres the test video i just did.Along with a photo of how the remotes are mounted....

Had to remove the left side mount to move the camera more forward to get a more centered view. Took the old Drift Curved Adhesive Mount off it was really on took the paint off the helmet when it came off so make sure you know where you want to mount them. Happy with the video below..But the forward camera could be centered more but with the inner helmet visor slide tabs position i would have to cover it up to get the camera perfect.If i didn't have the Scala Rider9 mounted it would be possible to mount better but sometimes you just have to compromise. The rear camera is good.

Very good advise - I once mounted something to my helmet and it was a muther to get off without damaging the helmet - I used wd-40 to loosen the adhesives. Gotta be patient and let it soak in.

I can see you're getting a kick out of your new setup. I think you need a bigger helmet so you can mount more stuff!! :icon_winking:

Looks like one has to be all in to get the excellent road footage Weljo gets.


To expect to be perfect is unreasonable, to strive for perfection is reasonable.

He has a bunch of equipment that he's been adding to over the years. One good camera - mounted properly will do a pretty good job by itself. He's been using the one cam system for a long time - he just got himself a new one so he's experimenting. He likes to document our rides - which in case of a problem we would have a record of what happened.
For me - I get a real kick out of seeing me out there riding. I had a cheapy mount and camera but it vibrated too much. The camera went back to the store - and my new camera is too big to use on my mount.
Using a really good cam and helmet mount like Weljo uses is an excellent setup with very good results.

Just switched the camera positions and both seem to be centered will test out tomorrow to be sure. The left side camera is now the rear view and the right side camera is now the forward view.

We'll see how it all worked out now - we just got back from from the desert - you'll have plenty to edit :icon_You_Rock:
