On the MTBR forums, some people said that they didn't like the chest mount perspective, so I made a second video from the helmet cam footage:
I'm always looking for new camera perspectives. Some of the footage I used in my Tour de Cure video were done with the cam mounted to a frame-pump length of PVC, used as a handle to sweep the camera down low while riding. I haven't tried it out yet, but I have an aerial view chaser built up to mount on a rear rack and look down at me from above/behind. Should make for some neat road footage.
The issue with many mount points is vibration (especially off-road.) Thankfully I can edit much of the shake out of it with PowerDirector. I was amazed to see such clean footage from the fork-cam.
