Just bought a GoPro NVG mount for my Alpha Eagle.. Only to find out it doesn't mount straight into the NVG recess as I planned.
Does anyone have this same mount? Is there another plate that needs to fit in for the GoPro mount to be compatible?
Cheers

You’ve bought the wrong mount.
I don’t believe there actually is a mount that goes directly from alpha helmet to GoPro currently available.
Alpha sells a specific NVG adapter that’s ludicrously expensive for what is is ($110 USD from memory)
I just created my own using sheet metal, then used a heavy duty epoxy to glue a GoPro adapter to it...

Re: GoPro NVG Mount into Alpha Helmet
The mount you bought fits the infantry/swat type tactical helmets.
As someone above mentioned if you want to make it work on your Alpha you’re going to have to get one of those stainless plates and bastardize it to make a GoPro mount attach to it.
There may be a ready made one at somewhere like Gibson Barnes

If you get stuck PM me, I live in the US and can forward it to you if they won’t ship to Aus.

I quickly realised this after opening it
Do you have a link for that Alpha mount? I don’t think I’ve seen it before.

Bugger! I thought buying the genuine GoPro mount it would’ve fit perfectly! All the while not spending 4x as much
I’ve seen those ones from Pro Flight Gear. Might be the bo after all.
Thanks for the info guys!
