How it works
One mount. Every character.
Every topper clips onto a low-profile GoPro-style mount — the kind most action helmets already have. Slide one on, pop it off, slide on another: one mount runs your whole lineup.
Mount included
-
Mount it
Stick the included mount to any helmet — or use the action-cam mount it already has.
-
Click on
The built-in buckle slides in until it clicks — locked in, no wobble. No tools, no straps.
-
Camera or character
Pull the camera off and a topper clicks into the same mount — swap back to film whenever you like.

Built to sell in your shop.
An easy yes for resort gift shops, ski rentals, bike stores, and skate shops. Impulse-priced, all-ages, impossible to walk past.

Bright and pocket-money priced — the kind of thing kids grab and parents say yes to.

Mix & match

Made by hand
A genuine handmade story your customers love — and a margin you'll love too.
Our story
Made by hand, on a mountain budget.
Banana Bear started in a Seattle apartment with a glue gun and one stubborn idea: safety gear should make you smile.
We hand-pick every character, then cut, glue, and finish each mount by hand in the Pacific Northwest. Durable enough for the chairlift, light enough to forget, fun enough they'll never take it off.
