Where to mount GoPro for first person POV

[mmccarthy81]

I just got a hero 5 black for Christmas, my first GoPro, and was wondering what people thought looked better for Candide style, first person, all mountain shredding; helmet or chest mount? And also whether helmet mount is annoying with the extra weight overhead?

I put it a few inches up from the front brim. most helmets have a flatter spot on the top and I put it on the edge of that. It's the best spot I've found for a good film angle and weight ratio.

Thanks, I actually posted this after watching your Tahoe edit because I liked the angle so that couldn’t have been more helpful. Do you film on wide angle or full on fisheye btw?
