OK this is my last post on this, but after many test runs I have decided that the camera mounts are best in the following positions on my bike anyway, I had to glue the mounts solid as there was still too much movement in them even with the rubber bungs, I am very happy with the results so far and they blend quite well into the bike as well. I may even fit the old GoPro facing back to the rider, mat as well then a nice even 4 cameras. Thanks for your interest.

Yeah, I did. A friend has the non HD of this camera and shoots great video. The HD version would be less grainy. We've been using this and a helmet cam for all our trips and have great videos to watch in the winter. Various mounts on bike and helmet, no vibration problem. Can't do it for him, only point in the general direction.

but but but.....

If you read the thread, you would have read that the GoPro HD has already been mentioned numerous times and that the OP had already bought two of them AND he even posted sample videos. One video was even posted right at the end of the thread when you responded.

So I say again....

You didn't read this thread did you?

All in good fun.

I can share with you a camera mount that does not work. Not sure why, but see for yourself.

You sound like pros but, mounting the camera to hard points on the bike isn't going to give you what ya want. The picture is a hint. I'll butt out as you have it covered
