When selecting an action camera to capture video of your epic dirt biking adventures this year, GoPro offers variety with many models that offer the right technology.
For dirt biking, certain technologies assist with a better end result, including stabilization to create smooth, clear video on bumpy rides. Other enhanced features also create a much better user experience. For example, voice activated recording allows hands-free options, slow motion and extra-wide angle lens are taking video recording to the next level.
If you are looking to capture the awesome footage of moments spent dirt bike riding with friends, family and at races, mounting a GoPro to your helmet, under the visor, is a great way to go. Attaching a mount directly to the helmet requires a process as each helmet is different, with varying curves, and requires a method to secure the mount to hold the GoPro. A low profile mount is a good option as it does not restrict your view, while also maintains the aesthetic appearance of your helmet.
When shopping for the best action camera to capture your upcoming dirt bike excursions, here are a few suggestions:
The GoPro Hero 11 Mini Black is 13% smaller than the Hero 11 black, offering savings in weight, size, and price. Overall, the Hero 11 Mini is about 4mm thicker and 20 mm smaller in width, but equal in height to the Hero 11. The Mini eliminates all the screens preventing the possibility of cracked screens or lenses for an overall more rugged product. The Mini features a tiny LCD on top of the camera to allow viewing in current viewing mode, but to frame shots you will need to synch with the GoPro Quick App. The GoPro Quick App is also great for editing, watching, and sharing photos and videos.

Since 2022, 3D Concepts Moto has been printing motorcycle parts. The father and son team, including Stuart, Paul, and Andrew Connell, got their start in the 3D printing industry when Stuart bought his first printer. Because of his “do-it-myself” personality, he naturally started printing anything he could think of, including parts for their own motorcycles. After showing the cool stuff made for their own dirt bikes and getting a lot of interest from friends, family, and the local Treasure Valley community, 3D Concepts Moto began.
The father and son team is composed of a retired construction and mining equipment engineer who used to race motocross, a car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiast, and a certified aircraft mechanic who loves to ride in the mountains. Together, we’ve been printing motorcycle parts for the past four years before starting 3D Concepts as a company.
Our motorcycle addiction goes back to the 1970s and 80s when father, Stuart, raced motocross in the Southwest part of the United States. Andrew and Paul’s first bikes were a Yamaha YZ-80 and a KTM 125SX. Andrew took to the dirt like a fish to water, while Paul’s interest peaked when he moved to Idaho in 2012, because of the amazing mountain single track.’’ The core values guiding 3D Concepts Moto’s vision stems from the application of custom parts on their own motorcycles. “We started making motorcycle parts for ourselves, because we wanted something better. Now we want to provide something better for our customers as well.”
The motivation behind 3D Concepts Moto’s vision is simple. We love to ride, and we love to build things! It’s our goal is to offer cost-effective, protection for critical off-road motorcycle parts for our customers. It’s these primary values that kick-started our business and is the fuel that motivates our success.
