I use an old Gath helmet and I either have it side or top mounted.

The mounts supplied with the stick pads is strong enough. However its not a bad idea to secure the camera with some fishing tackle as pictured here:





I found the top mount to be no good as when you water start the camera is bumped out of position. The side mount is more out of the way.

Mounting the Go Pro on either side, close to the ear section of the helmet works fine on a Gath. Its just a matter of mounting the camera as far forward as possible, using the extensions to achieve this and sticking the pad as forward as possible.

If this isn't done then you end up having your eyebrows and nose down in the corner of the video. Kind of strange as neither move at all all video while everything thing else is.

I have mine front mounted on a gath using the curved base pad and a j mount which comes in one of the mount packs, I also use a bit of kite string through the vents to make sure it cannot be lost but have not needed it yet
