Go pro and Sena mounts on my new protos

livefreeordie · May 16, 2016

Hey all you protos helmet owners out there, I am looking for some advice and hopefully pictures of where and how you have mounted go pro mounts and Sena Bluetooth units on your protos helmets. I have mounted my other Sena units on petzl helmets but the protos is a very different helmet. Thanks in advance for the help.

Sena in back above the tab to clamp the hemlet down, I have my go pro mount on the side in the front, I've seen a lot of people with it on top in the middle.

These would be nice

@treebing; Nice find! Are these designed to just clip onto an integral set of hearing protection that is built into the Protos helmet? Very slick, if so.

Almost $500 for some earmuffs

Oh snap

Thanks for the responses. I was able to find a few pictures of the sena units mounted on the protos and so I went ahead and installed it on the helmet. Everything went well and got to test it out yesterday with a massive oak removal and it performed well I will just need to change my mic mount. @treebing those ear muffs are awesome thanks for posting I may try to mount my mic in that same location.

@livefreeordie; Did you manage to get the GoPro mounted to the helmet, also? Any chance we'll get to see even a little bit of unedited video from this removal? I know, probably not, as you likely had your hands full just getting the Sena unit positioned and working properly. Just thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

@TimBr I was able to mount my go pro on the protos. I chose to put it on the top center on the helmet and it seemed to work out fairly well. As far as footage goes I have never attempted to post a video to tree buzz. I have not yet created a you tube channel so most of the clips that I make end up on my Instagram account for now. Hopefully I will get a chance to work on editing some footage sometime soon but feel free to hit me up on Instagram in the meantime if you are interested @six.zero.three

Today I finished remounting the mic for my Sena Bluetooth on my protos. The initial location I chose wasn't working well so I decided to try and mimic the mic location that @treebing posted. I attached a picture of what I came up with. I think it will work pretty well.

Steve Connally · May 25, 2016

That's pretty sweet. How did you run the mic wire?

livefreeordie · May 25, 2016

@Steve Connally I ran the mic wires in the same hole that I ran the speaker wires in the top of the ear muff. I haven't worked with it yet but I have a good feeling about it.

Nice install.

I do however see an issue with trying to stow either the muffs or mic.

I have my mic mounted up near/partially coveting the attachment point of the mesh visor. I can tuck the mic up above my forehead when not in use, and the muffs stow normally.
