I made this mount trying not to drill holes in the helmet and with the possibility to use it on both of my helmets ( mountain bike and ski).
I used a segment from a broken fishing rod made from fiberglass. You can use other materials (pvc, aluminium, carbon) .
For the camera I used the handlebar mount and for the counterweight I used pieces of lead wheel weights used for calibrating the rims. The counterweights are hooked together with plastic zip cuffs and mounted on the bar with a hose clamp.
I drilled holes in the bar at about 1/3 distance from the counterweights because is it is short and for the camera to be at a greater distance. You can find easily the center weight by sliding the counterweight on the bar. It’s not crucial to drill the holes so precise.
For the rotating part I used a swivel caster wheel with top plate, the smallest and cheapest that I could find (2$). In the middle of the top plate I fixed a nut with european standard thread with a thin metal plate and 4 small nuts and bolts. First I wanted to put also some glue, but it wasn’t needed anymore because the nut was fixed very tight.
A friend of mine made for me a bolt on a lathe machine with 2 different threads: one half with standard european thread to be screwed in the nut from the top plate of the rotating part, and the other part with thread for tripod. I couldn’t find anywhere a bolt or nut with thread for tripods.
This two thread bolt is screwed in the tripod adapter put upside down , which is hooked with an segment from the 3-way pivot arm that comes with the camera. And this segment is hooked to the flat quick-release mount.
The trick is at fixing together the pivot arm and the tripod adapter. I removed the nut from the tripod adapter. Then I took only the plastic handle from a short bolt used at the 3-way pivot arm and used with a long bold used for fixing the camera housing. And a washer, and that’s it.

For a toilet tank that is leaking, you will need a toilet tank repair kit. This will repair a leak from the bolts that hold the tank to the bowl and the gasket that joins the 2 pieces.
Most toilet tanks are held onto the bowl with 2 bolts. But there are some that have 3 bolts. Look at your toilet before going to the hardware store, you may need to purchase an extra set of bolts and washers.
You should be able to replace the bolts by using a large slotted screwdriver, an adjustable wrench and pliers. If the bolts are rusted in place, you will need a hack saw blade and locking pliers.
In most cases this is a pretty easy project. Be careful of the porcelain, it can be cracked if you tighten down too hard on the bolts.
