Get some cardboard and cut out a case to fit your phone/camera once you have the case done you have to cut a hole so you can plug some headphones (for microphone/capture button)

Glue the Case

Use hot glue (a huge amount of it) to secure the case to the helmet make sure when it dries you can lift the helmet with the case

You don't want to be recording and accidentally stop recording (trust me) so string the wire through the helmet first you need to remove the foam from the inside then string the wire through and glue it at some places in the helmet make sure that you glue the sound controller on the side of the helmet then put the foam back in.

Add Rubber Bands to the Case
