Magnetic GoPro & Insta360 Helmet Mount | Safety System

Magnetic GoPro & Insta360 Helmet Mount | Safety System

The magnetic GoPro & Insta360 helmet mount with Safety System was developed for paragliders who want to capture their flying experiences with an action camera. The magnetic connection allows for convenient camera attachment to the helmet and can release under sufficient tensile stress.

Especially when paragliding, protruding camera mounts can pose a risk if paraglider lines become entangled in them. The magnetic action cam helmet mount therefore offers a detachable alternative to rigidly mounted brackets.

Thanks to the magnetic attachment, in the event of an emergency, the GoPro or Insta360 is simply pulled off the helmet by the tension of the lines. A small elastic safety cord is also attached to ensure you don’t lose your GoPro or Insta360.

Action Cam Risk Factor

Daniel from Paradventure says: “I experienced firsthand (see video) how, after a collapse, the paraglider’s lines wrapped around my GoPro, and when tension returned to the lines, I was yanked off my helmet. That wasn’t a pleasant experience—luckily, it happened during safety training. Since I still like to have a GoPro on my helmet, I designed this mount,” says Daniel from Paradventure!

Magnetic Safety System to Prevent Line Tangles

The unique feature of the action camera helmet mount for paragliders is the magnetic connection between the camera and the helmet mount.

For example, if a line comes into contact with the camera, the magnetic attachment can release under sufficient stress. This is intended to reduce the risk of a permanent line tangle.

However, this does not guarantee that the connection will release or completely prevent line tangles.

How does the magnetic GoPro helmet mount with the safety system work?

The magnetic GoPro helmet mount attaches the action camera to the helmet via a magnetic connection. If subjected to sufficient tensile force—for example, from a tangled paraglider line—the mount can detach from the helmet. This is designed to reduce the risk of a dangerous tangle.

Why is a magnetic helmet mount useful for paragliding?

Conventional, permanently mounted action camera mounts can create an additional point of entanglement if they come into contact with lines. The magnetic helmet mount with safety feature provides a detachable connection that can give way under sufficient tensile stress. However, it does not replace careful flight preparation and does not guarantee that line tangles can be completely avoided.

Is the magnetic helmet mount compatible with GoPro and Insta360?

The magnetic action camera helmet mount is designed for use with GoPro and Insta360 cameras. Depending on the camera model, a compatible mounting adapter may be required. Therefore, check the compatibility of your camera and the required adapter before purchasing.

Will the magnetic GoPro helmet mount hold even at higher flight speeds?

The magnetic connection is designed to secure an action camera. However, the actual holding force depends on the camera’s weight, the mounting configuration, and the forces exerted. No guaranteed maximum flight speed is specified. Check that the mount is secure before every flight and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Can the action camera detach from the helmet in the event of a line tangle?

Yes, that is the intended function of the magnetic safety system. If the tensile load is high enough, the connection can release, thereby reducing the risk of a permanent line tangle. Whether and when the connection releases depends on the direction of the load and the specific conditions.

Is the magnetic GoPro helmet mount suitable for any paragliding helmet?

Suitability depends on the helmet’s shape, surface, and intended mounting method. The magnetic helmet mount for paragliders should only be used on suitable helmets and in accordance with the installation instructions. Make sure that the installation does not compromise the helmet’s protective function or its safe use.
