Can this be attached to a helmet or head strap for 'selfies' to see yourself like on rollercoasters, etc...if not, what accessory would you recommend?

NO--too heavy and rigid. Made to clamp on to rails and has a very strong spring. Clamp it on to the rail of the roller coaster, but do not clamp to yourself or to anything connected to you. Clamping to yourself could cause serious injury.

No, it will not attach to a helmet for selfies. I would use a wrist mount for the roller coaster application.

The jaw is very strong. I think if you can find a good spot to clamp it on a helmet it would hold. I think a helmet strap with extension pieces would work better and not as bulky or heavy. Hope this helps

No this is more for clamping on hard surfaces. You would want the wand if you want to take videos of yourself. I like to take videos of what I see.

Attaching this to a head strap or helmet would be difficult, but not impossible. I definitely wouldn't try it on something like a roller coaster. GoPro has a headstrap that would probably work best for that, and it's only $10. I have clamped this onto the end of a broom stick to use like a selfie stick and it does work. You could easily do that instead of getting GoPro's selfie stick, which is a good $65-$70.

Yes! We absolutely love this device. Go to motorcyclesuperstore.com and watch their video. I even installed it on a half shell helmet. Once you watch the video you will understand.

I personally would add one if you are in an active setting. I dropped my D3200 while riding a ride at Disneyland trying to put it back in the mount. But I still love it.

If worn under the helmet, I would say no, simply because of where the camera is located (take a close look at the picture to see what I mean). If you want to fit it over, I'm not sure about the size and I cannot give you an answer because I don't have it with me now. Maybe a fellow past purchaser can chime in now... ?Another option (for quite cheap) is the mount strap for vented bicycle helmets. Of course, this serves one single purpose and cannot be mounted to your head like the Smatree Head Strap.

No. Headstrap is heavy elastic band with heavy plastic buckles and camera mount. The strap will definitely not float with the camera attached. The foam float for the camera would be required to float the camera and the strap/

No thats how the head strap comes. Mounted so your camera sits on your forehead and looks outward.

It can be attached to the side of a ballistic helmet however if it's on a picatany rail you'll need to buy a separate attachment piece. The helmet attachment mount is not picatany compatible.

Looking at the helmet, I think it is possible with certain straps. The Styrofoam padding inside the helmet is removable, and by removing a few screws it looks like you can take the strap off and replace it. I haven't found a strap I like yet, but I noticed the foam sits very close to the attachment point for the strap and may need some modifying if I can't find a strap with thinner attachment points. So I'm not 100% positive, but it looks like it. Again, I'd still recommend the helmet highly and to be honest, I think I may stick with the under-the-chin strap since my wire mesh mask sits against my face and may interfere with an around-the-chin strap.

I would. The ability to get faces at distance is great in a theme park. If you don't want close ups of groups it will work. I have used it on trips and trails.

I bought this for my son to use when he rides his Motorcycle. I bought a band that works with or without a helmut to mount it.So I guess you could use it on your head

The case has a standard size (for the portable action cameras) screw hole... so, if you have a mount like that, yes.. mine did not come with any mounts, but I ordered a few other brands at the same time, and have used their mounts for this... haven't used any of them as helmet cams yet though.

I asked my husband and he said no it doesn't have a mount for the actual helmet but it did come with a head strap, not really sure if it will fit over a helmet. He loves the camera though, well worth the money. Hope this helps !!! Enjoy :)

It has no internal power...so I guess if it's worth it to rig a 12 volt external power pack and a goofy helmet with a special mount for it or....just get a GoPro or other portable unit. That's what I use.

Yes, works great with or without a helmet. Lots of adjustability, and has "grippy" texture to stick to helmet

I've not used it with the Go-pro,, but it it looks like the camera would mount on the middle stud of the visor, the extra wieght there may be a little annoying ( depending on what version of Go-pro you have). I've alwasy mounted my camera top center of the helmet,

No, this unit was not designed to stay strapped to your head. It does come with a strap to hang the goggles around your neck. You could possibly rig a strap that would make it stay strapped to your head, but I have not tried that so I don't really know if it would work or not.

Although I never have attached it to a bike helmet I would say it could be with minor mods. It comes with a helmet attachment which I am sure would work. I'm guessing you want to attach it side by side with a Go Pro camera for some sort of night photgraphy.
