April 15, 201412 yr If you mount the camera on the handle bars you'll have to point the bars at whoever you are intending to film, helmet cam follows your head so at least picks up what youre looking at. As Freddy points out above once a cam is reogonised people's attiude change....or maybe its because I look a little like Grant Mitchell:D

Going to try for it mounted on my bag strap, if I can get into the habit of using it then I will upgrade, pointless spending more if when I do evenually need the footage it had a dead battery or I hadn't bothered switching it on.

As Freddy points out above once a cam is reogonised people's attiude change....or maybe its because I look a little like Grant Mitchell:D I mounted the camera on the handlebars today and I don't particularly like the footage. The camera angle is too low and obviously doesn't follow my head movements. The whole purpose of a helmet cam for me is to be able to see who hit me in case of an accident and I think the handlebar mount can limit that. I think I'm just going to have to stick with my helmet mount and get used to the weird looks. The benefits clearly outweigh the cons. Thank you everyone for your help
April 16, 201412 yr Perhaps someone could help with mounting... I have the gopro and a mount on my helmet, no problem. Every day I ride to the post office but can't really go in there with it on my head so bought a bar bracket for that. Only issue is the cam is bolted to the bar bracket so ant be swapped between helmet and bars without unscrewing. I know I could take the helmet off, but with all my packages to weigh and stuff it ens up being dropped on the floor. I really need a quick release mount for the bars. Any ideas?
