I've had the Hero, Hero2 and now the Hero3 Silver. I've had no trouble with any of them except one of my Hero3's. I couldn't get it to turn on without removing and re-installing the battery. Replaced under warranty but now the new one won't go on at all. I use the handlebar mount on the front and a small pvc pipe screwed into a pvc "t" with 2 backets bolted to the seat rails for the rear.
