What is the best mounting option for gopro

[Jonnymac]

Hey all,

Just wondering from experience which mounting option is the best for the go pro.

I will probably mainly use it on the dirty seeing as most racetracks don't like you filming these days....

Helmet, on the side

How do you think it would go on the side of a helmet Rob?

Chest harness - just above your sternum.

Footage looks great with your arms appearing in front of you from each side of the screen like a first person POV video game.

Thanks Rob.

Wouldn't it be better on the top?
What's the thought process behind the side and which side.

Yep that's a thought. It could look pretty schmick.

Perhaps I spend to much time riding and no time playing video games, but what's a POV video game??

The best place? NOT focusing on the speedo!

Have look at Gopros web site .... http://gopro.com/videos/moto/red-bull-h ... berg-rodeo

or some youtube vids ..

Ive got mine on the dirty helmet. I generally leave the tip of the visor in shot, adds a bit of perspective.

It also allows for shooting backwards as well.

Cheers

POV = point of view. Only know this because I have teenagers

Top of the helmet gets caught in branches ect more than the side
Here is a wet ride Timmyrocks & I had in June

Here's a few options...I tend to favor the chest mount...

I like side of helmet... to keep the angle as low and realistic as possible. Not the biggest fan of that 'top of the world' view.

Try strapping to mirror stalk as well ....
