Side mounted cameras can be a nightmare for users. The fear of getting the canopy lines tangled around their camera during an opening sequence can be a deal breaker when it is time to choose a helmet. Many manufacturers try to solve this issue by incorporating the camera into the helmet shell. This creates a smooth surface but also increases the general volume of the helmet, making it very hard to transport and eliminating any camera adjustment possibility. Our approach was different; we embedded a quick release system (the Cookie-Padlock) in the surface of the helmet which makes it easy to remove the camera when in transport. This system not only holds the camera locked in position but it also provides a snag free system with no overhang or gaps between camera and helmet. The Cookie-Padlock also allows the user to choose their camera angle, making this one of the most secure and versatile systems on the market today.
