Is anyone aware of a helmet/bar light that fits a GoPro mount? Seems a very obvious idea but the only one I can find is a Garmin model for £150 which is out of my budget. Happy to look at Ebay options!
I did manage to rig my LifeLine mount onto a GoPro mount but its about 6 inches tall which is too high.

I've got a Bontrager Lithos helmet that came with a quick release GoPro mount.
I've attached a Moon Vortex pro to it but I can't remember if the light came with the adaptor to fix it to the GoPro mount or if I had to but it.

Exposure do a bracket for Joystick, Diablo, etc that mates to a gopro mount. Also a threaded one for the smaller end of the "big" lights (Toro, Race, etc - not MaxxD or the like).

I have an Exposure Diablo mounted to my Kask Rex via the first link Simon_g shared, works really well. The Kask has a go pro slot built into the helmet so was a no brainer

You could get one of these adaptors that plugs into the mount.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143679445589

For anyone with Cree lights and a helmet with a GoPro mount I found an Ebay seller who makes various mounts depending which light model you have.

My BH1000 does of course and I bodged a gopro mount onto my old solarstorm X2 using the existing mounting thread and a splodge of epoxy.

You don't have to pay some tweenage entrepreneur with a 3d printer a fortune there's cheap GoPro mounting bits galore for pennies on the fleabay these days...

Most Light and Motion ones do.

The Urban/Viz line which are ideal helmet mounted off road lights can be adapted with this https://www.freewheel.co.uk/light-and-motion-action-camera-mount-urban-deckhand-eh8040220a Lights themselves are really well built and start at pretty low prices https://www.freewheel.co.uk/light-and-motion-vis-500-racer-red-red-black-front-light-eh8560729b

Also plenty budget options like this:-

I thought the GoPro mount option was pretty widespread these days?
