Driver’s POV Mount Instructions
Congrats! You are now an owner of the Boss Boss Racing ‘Driver’s POV Mount’!
Sure, there are other options out there that can achieve somewhat of the same thing, but I’ve always strived for something more bespoke and above all; something that isn’t hideous.
Why would we stick the ugliest GoPro mount on our extremely expensive helmets?
Features
• 3D Printed in Nylon 12 on a Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) machine, which is often used for ultra strong and resilient tooling in commercial manufacturing.
(TLDR; it’s strong AF)
• Ability to remove the camera mount portion whenever you aren’t recording POV footage, leaving a sleek, minimal design that doesn’t look hideous on your helmet.
• Positions the camera lens about 1” away from the Driver’s ‘True’ eyeline for most helmets. Get closer to that real POV!
Keep in mind that you might see a little bit of the camera at the top of your viewport. However, it should never impede your vision and when you’re focused on driving, you’ll never ‘see’ it.
• All hardware are 18-8 stainless steel for maximum corrosion protection for those of you who drive open-wheel.
• Super light-weight construction so that you minimize as much added weight on your head as possible. Of course, there’s not much we can do about the camera’s weight.
• Mount is completely modular, so we can create a solution for most action cameras! Insta360 Go3 camera design is in the works. If you have a camera you’d like to have a mount made for, we can accommodate you!
We look forward to seeing all the great POV videos that you all capture! Be sure to tag @bossbossracing in all your videos!
Happy Racing!
Instructions
1 — Wipe down visor to remove all debris, dirt, and oils for the best adhesion
2 — Align mount with the middle of your visor. Take your time with this step, as the 3M VHB adhesive used for mounting is very strong. The top lip of the mount should be resting on the lip of your visor.
Optional step: Use the included vinyl sticker to place directly on the visor, and then adhere the mount to the vinyl sticker for an easier removal, should you need to remove the mount. However, we do recommend adhering the mount directly to the visor for best results. If you use a visor strip, then you can adhere the mount directly to your visor strip. It’s not recommended that you place the included vinyl stickers over your visor strip, as it could potentially cause issues with adhesion.
3 - Remove backing on 3M VHB adhesive and firmly press down on the visor for 30 seconds.
4 - Attach GoPro and start shooting great POV footage of yourself on the track!
!VERY IMPORTANT! - When fastening the M4 screws, be sure that you DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN! You can and will destroy the threaded inserts by over-torqueing. No refunds will be made for damage to the threaded inserts due to over-torqueing.
