Ways to use the Dango Gripper
More than a
helmet mount.
Start with first-person riding footage, then move the camera when the story needs another angle. The Dango Gripper is designed to make changing perspective simple.
One mount. More angles.
Change the camera position without changing your whole setup.
Helmet POV is where many riders start, but it does not have to be where the camera stays.
The clamp design of the Dango Gripper lets you reposition your action camera between suitable mounting points, giving you more ways to capture the ride without relying on permanent adhesive mounts everywhere.
01 — Rider POV
Start with POV.
Mount the camera on a suitable helmet chin bar for a natural first-person view. It puts the viewer close to what the rider sees without relying on a permanent adhesive mount.
02 — Bike mounted
Move it to the bike.
When helmet POV has told its part of the story, move the Gripper to a suitable secure part of the motorcycle for another viewpoint. The same camera can give you a completely different shot.
03 — Low angle
Get closer to the action.
A lower camera position changes the feeling of the shot completely. Get closer to wheels, terrain, dirt and water where a traditional helmet perspective cannot take you.
04 — Third person
Step outside the helmet.
Use a suitable secure trailside, trackside or environmental mounting point to get the rider into the frame. It gives your footage context and breaks up long sequences of first-person video.
Reposition. Shoot. Repeat.
One mount. Change the shot.
The point is not to find one perfect position and leave the camera there. The Gripper gives riders and creators the option to move the camera as the ride, location and story change.
Add portrait filming
Shoot vertical too.
Add the Dango L Bracket when you want to turn a compatible action camera 90° for portrait filming.
Its shape helps keep the camera positioned as centrally as possible to the original mounting point, rather than simply hanging the camera further off to one side.
Designed to complement the Dango Gripper, it gives creators another option for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and other vertical-first content.

Where can you use it?
Built for more than one kind of shot.
The best mounting position depends on the camera, bike, helmet and environment. Always choose a secure suitable surface and check the mount before filming or riding.
01
Helmet
First-person riding footage from a suitable helmet chin bar.
02
Motorcycle
Alternative bike-mounted viewpoints using a suitable secure position.
03
Trackside
Position the camera away from the rider for third-person action.
04
Low angle
Get the camera closer to wheels, ground and the terrain.
05
Adventure
Move between riding footage, stops and off-bike storytelling.
06
Solo creators
Use one camera in more positions without carrying a bag of fixed mounts.
Camera compatibility
GoPro-style mounting.
The Dango Gripper uses the familiar GoPro-style action camera mounting system.
GoPro
Compatible with many GoPro action camera setups using the standard GoPro-style mounting connection.
DJI
Many DJI action cameras can be used with the appropriate GoPro-style adapter.
Insta360
Compatible Insta360 cameras can be mounted using the appropriate adapter for a GoPro-style connection.
Beyond the ride
Keep filming when the bike stops.
The ride is often only one part of the story. Move the Gripper off the bike and use the camera around the van, campsite, paddock or wherever the rest of the day takes you.
