bolakeyou must be joking I refuse to believe that you are telling the truth
imo it looks better if you're tall because then you can actually see the skis when doing tricks etc. but the cons are that your arms get in the way and for switch tricks you're fucked
generally speaking, head mount is far superior to chest mount in terms of the shot it produces. better angle, looks where you look, your neck does a lot of stabilization. if you want your skis in your shot that's fine, just angle the camera down a little more
OP, as for where to mount it, i suggest mounting as close to the front of the helmet as possible. that way the camera doesn't stick up off the top of your head teletubbie style, and the camera is pretty close to your forehead
let me know if you want me to expand on how to mount it like that, or i can post a picture of my setup
Mount it as low as possible on the front of the helmet, makes it as low profile as possible. Don’t use a chest mount. Looks uglier and the shots are so much worse
Dont do this. I tested it literally in the spot he is deciding on the vantage and it made the weight all messed up. Helmet wanted to pull forward over my goggles. Annoying as F. The weight feels perfectly distributed and gets a good shot in the position I posted.

Weird I have a smith helmet and I hardly notice a difference
