Sony Bloggie Attachment

[Blenkin]

Hi everyone.
I am new to V-logging and a while ago, asked on here about beginner camera setups.
After the very helpful advice, i finally won a bid for a cheap Sony Bloggie on Ebay.
But now my problem is i do not know how to attach it to my full face helmet.
If there is anyone out there who uses/has used a bloggie, then please could you help me?
Many thans in advance.

I used to mate, but I had an MX helmet and it fitted nicely under the peak.

The only place I think it would work on a fullface is inside the chin guard with the camera tilted where your nose is.
Or upside down with the camera shooting from your chin.

Or maybe lay it on the top of your helmet with velcro (not for rainy days).

The other idea is more technical.
If you can open the Bloggie and try rotate the lens 90 degrees (not 100% sure it's possible). You can then record sideways with the Bloggie against your cheek.

Jump to 4:30, he starts talking about how his Webbie was set up. Set your bloggie up the same way and you should be good to go. Most of us would actually cut into the foam a bit on the chin bar to make a little extra room too. I think all my old helmets have a fair bit of foam missing from the chin.

Here is a copy & paste from another post where I showed my camera mount for my playsport which is pretty similar to your bloggie.

Here are a few pics. My main goal in mounting it was keeping the camera unmodified and I didn't want any velcro on the camera itself.

I took a childs black dress sock and cut off the leg cuff and stitched the bottom closed. Wrapped it with velcro and cut a hole for the record button. Stacked some velcro stuck together for the correct angle and made a little strap that goes over the top to hold it in the pocket.

Another thing I just thought about... Buy this lens for your bloggie. http://dx.com/p/fe-12-180-degree-fish-e ... 690?item=2

If that link isn't working for some reason just search the web for "fisheye lens fe 12"
Check some of my first vlogs against some of my latest vlogs to see the view thru that lens. It's well worth the $10 and two weeks wait.
