DIY GoPro Hat Mount

[@shawnsears7590]

You should put a nut on the bolt before cutting it. When you remove the bolt it straightens most of the threading at the end.

[@gunvlog]

Did that exact mount a 3/4 year ago.....works really good, you just have to watch out, that the hat you take a stable enoug, as the weight of the session does pull down a bit.........

[@kylemartin101]

+DeutscheSchuetzen this is a good point. The hat I used is really stiff and I am sure it was part of the reason the mount worked as well as it did

[@gunvlog]

I tried different hats, and every hat had a different stiffness. Not only the the cardboard sunshield is important, also the hat itself. But in the end, everybody has to give it a try and see what works best. I use the hat version a lot, since I make ots of videos at the shooting range here in germany and we have to have a hat on to protect ourselves from empty shels getting into out eyes from above. And the GoPro Headstrap prevents that. I also use it, when I take my dog for a walk and we head out into the forrest. Works really good. One thing I still wanted to try, but havn`t got round to picking it up is using a different frame for my Session. I mean the version that mounts on the back of the frame. That would lower the camera and make it a bit more comfortable to wear. Also the point of view would get closer to the eyes.

Need a solid SnapBack!!

[@joey_outdoors]

Good stuff. I just ordered a Session 5 because I'm currently using the clip mount on my hat with the Hero 5. Too heavy!

[@JadiSenang]

How you start the fire? What kind of fire striker?

[@wasanthasuranjan5917]

Where should I buy and how can I buy it

[@williepierce3933]

Great idea! I was thinking that if you used a nylon bolt, it would be much easier to cut, and it would be lighter. Also, if you thread a nut all the way to the screw head before cutting, when you unscrew it after, the threads will straighten out, so you don't have issues getting it to thread into the mount.

[@kylemartin101]

+Willie Pierce that is a good idea. I will try to pick up some nylon bolts and test them out

[@What_Fred_Said]

Only trouble with the session is you can't bring extra batteries for it because they don't come out. How long could you record on one charge?

[@becool565]

is that the go pro hero 4 ?

[@MistrzBartek125]

Thanks for this video, I was about to glue gopro quick relase to my hat but this method is much better.

[@micheljames8511]

And also can't u just stick a standard GoPro mount to it? Or does it not stick well??

[@andrew5476]

Saw your video then proceeded to make it. Then took it out for a test ride while using a SUP and love it!

[@kylemartin101]

+Andrew I am so glad it work for you. It is great to see people building their own!

[@nicholashalvis5376]

Which GoPro is this? I would like to mount gopro to a hat just like you did here. Does the mount come with it?

[@krishanaspect9038]

Oh man, was about to try 2 other methods and glad I saw this/ much quicker/cleaner idea How long was the bolt after cutting?

[@rr84]

I would of never thought of that, I have lots of caps so I'll definitely be doing that!!

[@micheljames8511]

Does it ruin the cap?

[@TheKayakCrew]

Will this work with the go pro 7 black?

[@CanadianHunterQuest]

Thank u for the tip, Kyle

[@peterkovic2241]

Nice craftsmanship, dude! Can I buy one of these off you? If you started making these hat mounts, I imagine they’d sell pretty well.

[@Bobo-vo5id]

YOUR BACK

[@kylemartin101]

+Bo Dowell yep! Going to do my best to keep the videos rolling this time. Less reviews, more DIY and cool tricks for mounting is my plan.

[@wasanthasuranjan5917]

Who can help me to buy this

[@truthseeker6804]

the hat or the screw or the gopro?

[@stephaniestone873]

Has anyone tried this method using a hero8?

[@Tom13GN]

Nice job...good to see you back!

[@kylemartin101]

+Tom13GN thanks! It feels good to be back. I will try to get a video out each week

[@brookeb2715]

Does this work for visors?

[@kylemartin101]

It would work for visors. You would just have to make sure you put it on tight as I think a visor would not be as stable.

[@princesswearshikingboots4479]

Thanks Kyle, that was a great help - very creative!

[@johnhancock9451]

If you had put the nut on all the way up and then cut it, then back the nut off it cleans up the cut

[@cazadoresnorteamericanos]

Great video man. This is what I’m doing today. Thanks.

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

New subscriber great video just got my first GoPro will be making one of these

[@kylemartin101]

+Luther Ardinger welcome to the channel. I hope to be useful to as you learn more about your new GoPro.. You should definitely make a DIY clamp Mount, and DIY handlebar mount

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" thanks for the reply and will definitely make those mounts to

[@user-sq2fm7dn4e]

Do you know how to mount a phone? I've considered just buying a hat mount for my phone, but after seeing this I'm sure there is a cheaper option.

[@ViraAv]

[@PJGGolfer]

Hey, This is actually a pretty good DIY idea.

[@kylemartin101]

[@PJGGolfer]

I am not sure how I can post a picture to you. But I just bought the Sessions 5 and had a personalized hat made. Your channel is my GoPro, accessories and Drone bible.

[@kylemartin101]

+flamepeace thanks for the support!

[@hapahoulew9833]

👍

[@kazcelestino3885]

that is good for ghost hunting

[@Mistereducation]

Who else thought that the hat ....was gonna catch fire...

[@erinndethloff2210]

I think a magnet would've worked better.

[@SangTTran10111213]

Love you lighter

[@urbexnation7656]

You can just buy a GoPro hat and it has a built in mount

[@aaron4820]

"You can just pay extra to buy a hat which style you might not like instead of drilling one hole and convert any hat you like into a gopro hat." Sounds like good advice.

[@toysoldier46552]

The go pro mount hat on amazon is only 10 bucks and you don't have to ruin your favorite hat in the process.

[@bashrc1375]

Liked 👍.. Had I seen this video I would have 1 hole not 2 on the bill. I moved to closer to the head. I wouldn’t buy a hat with the mount. I prefer DIY the hole in the bill for stability over having the mount on the face of the hat. Plus to me lower profile more discreet. I have plenty old hats to get more life out of. 👍👍👍

[@Truthhurt]

That's a screw not a bolt lmfao

[@Shambhavi414]

Awesome
