About

In 2025 I ticked something off my bucket list: Race cars.

I'd been doing track days for years but racing against the clock was just not cutting it any more. I wanted to race door to door, wheel to wheel. So at the start of 2025 I bit the bullet and jumped in the hot seat of an Australian made single seater called a Hyper Racer and never looked back.   

Racing is an immense amount of fun but as I race a single seater it's hard to share that experience with others. I wanted a simple way to film my races so I could relive the action, review footage for driver coaching, and share the experience with friends and family.

Like most people, I started with a GoPro mounted to the car. But the footage never felt immersive, the cameras weren’t reliable, and once strapped into the car I could never actually reach the thing to start or stop recording. I tried using a remote, but that quickly became just another thing to remember on an already long pre-race checklist.

Then I discovered the Insta360 GO3S. Tiny, lightweight, and capable of recording incredible 4K footage. It was exactly what I was looking for... except there wasn’t a secure mount suitable for racing. Insta360’s magnetic mounts are great for everyday use, but not something I would trust at high speeds. So I decided to develop my own.

After some trial and error, I found the perfect location: the top of the helmet visor.

A helmet mounted camera provides a super immersive POV which a car mounted camera can't match. But it mattered where you mounted it on the helmet. Chin mounts sit too low in a race car, mostly capturing the steering wheel instead of the action. Insta360 have an in helmet mount but due to the narrow opening of car racing helmets (required for safety purposes) it didn't fit that great and the angle felt unnatural with an awkward “nose cam” perspective.

Mounting the camera on top of the visor solved everything.

It delivers a true line-of-sight POV that feels natural and immersive, without obstructing vision through the visor. In fact, most racing helmets already place a sun strip sticker across this section anyway. The position also makes the camera incredibly easy to reach while fully strapped into the car, and even helps when opening and closing the visor while wearing racing gloves.

VisorGO is designed to be semi-permanently attached to racing helmet visors using genuine 3M VHB tape, the same high-strength adhesive trusted on most popular action camera mounts.

The mount is carefully aligned to match the angle of a racing helmet visors, giving the most realistic footage possible. It works brilliantly in both open wheelers and tin tops alike, provided the visor is down while filming.

If you’re looking for a secure, race-ready way to mount your Insta360 GO3 or GO3S and capture truly immersive POV footage, welcome to VisorGO.
