Osmo Action 5 Pro : Aria Renegade V helmet mount for motorcycle footage

 So I finally bought an Osmo Action 5 Pro to record by biking adventures.

Been watching for years on the pricing, until a deal on at Currys (UK) where the price dropped to £359 for the Adventure Combo  (includes 3 batteries and a charging case)  Jan 2025

Mounting to the helmet

I own an Arai Renegade V helmet

I originally looked at the chinmount but its from USA so postage is large % cost and you still need enough bracket to space from the helmet so it can point forward.

In the end I combined 2 bracket kits to make a single mount I was happy with

Kit 1 : £17 : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CR1FZLDY
Kit 2 : £8   : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076VZ8THQ

I used the curved helmet mount from Kit 1
I used the 2 90 degree extensions from Kit 2 (these are fixed (no handles) and create more distance away from the helmet so the angle is correct
the camera mag mount / tighten handle is supplied with the camera

In reality you could just use Kit 2 for it all, but I prefer the locking tab (self retained and black) in Kit 1



detachable from the helmet mount itself with a black insert to secure it

curved mount (3M adhesive) surrounded by Sugru !

Kit below provided the 2 elbow pieces

Kit below provided the curved mount and bolt and slotted bracket

Using the camera in a motorcycle context

256GB memory card

Each battery should last approximately 4hrs
A 256GB memory card can record approx 9hrs footage (at 2.7K 4:3 30fps)

So for a 3 day NC500 trip
I will need 3 x 256GB memory cards ( 1 for each day)
3 batteries should cover a full day (charging all 3 at night for the next day)
