As title says, would love to know how people mount there go-pro cameras. For a helmet i find the adhesive mounts are best with no extension.

The pic was with the extension, did 1 test and didnt like it so i just clamped the camera straight to the mount! Seems fine in the video :)

Also do the suction mounts work well on uneven surfaces?

I will also be mounting my go-pro on my kart some how, will post pics there. Might use a chest mounting harness as it would give a better view :)
 
Loving the footage that has been shared! i will be making a mount on my kart so i can use a suction cup mount. Hopefully i will capture a full endurance race :).

Im quite interested in the chest harness, but at £34...can you adjust the height of where it sits or are you stuck at the same height when you adjust it to suit your body?

also off topic, can you recommend be a 16gb SD card? im using a 8gb. Which seems fine, as a video on R2 (1280x720) will run out of battery before it uses 8gb. I would like the comfort of knowning if i forget to backup/delete stuff on my card i can still record.

Made this timelapse, our fishtank is newly built. We have some neons just to see if they will live :) shot with standard time lapse settings.

ARgh im in a situation :( my race that is coming up is 2.5 hours long. battery life is 2.2hours (tried this morning) and my 8gb SD card runs out just minutes before the battery dies!

Iv got a few 16gb class 8 cards and i dont really want to spend money on a 2nd battery :( anyone know how to increase the battery life?

Helmet mount
Tank mount
rear "motogp" chase mount (riders arse)
Lower fairing mount framing the front wheels and suspension
front mount reversed so looking at hands on brake lever and rider
and one under the front fair facing forwards hidden for track days:D

What are you using on a tank? my tank isnt flat on top, the curved sticky pads and the suction cups dont work to well :(
 

Same as before, using the chin mount technique but on a clearer day.

Does anyone know how to fix the wind issue? i see a lot of videos and nobody gets as bad wind noise as i do :(

Use the vented rear door and cover it with tape so it lets sound in without buffeting wind in, better still cotton wool or sponge covering the rear again dampening the wind effect!

Cheers! but i dont really understand, So where the slots are in the back door, tape them up with cotton wool in between then? have you done this yourself and got any pics?

found this....seems to do the trick!
