wide lense or not?

Definitely wide. Just got one a few days back and the wide angle is a big advantange IMHO. Did some filming at Carron Valley this morning:

What you really want is the chest mount for the camera alot more stable as your core doesn't move about as much as your head. See it in action here.
Chest mount video

A chest mount is already on order – should arrive next week. I've got the ride kit coming too.

Wide HD!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets Terry Wogan appear at 1:45 on Flippercowboys video.

damn subliminal suggestions. Only a humming bird should be able to see that !! 🙂

this my preferred gopro mounting

on the shoulder strap of my camelbak. You have to chisel off the center notch of the back plate and file down the clip to give space for the strap. If you don't want to use the "pantograph" attachments you have to file down the top of the mount to give enough clearance to rotate the camera up enough to give a good forward view (well from my riding slouch anyway). It makes for a very solid and convenient mount with the controls in easy reach.

could do with rotating up a touch more but I do wish the gopro mounts hadn't just got the 1D rotation when used without the attachments.

No, I saw it too

Just noticed I've got some other tabs open in the screen grab. Nothing embarrassing this time. Phew.

Back on subject, I'd defo go for the wide one. Thinking of getting one in a couple of weeks. Footage looks good when mounted on the seatpost facing backwards too.
