And making videos takes a long time as it is. Saving 20-30 minutes is not worth it, to me at least. But that is all I am going to beat this dead horse.





Want to send me a PM on how you like the combo mount? I decided on the barfly mount. It works great flipped up like they have it advertised but flipped upside down it gets tangled in the cables. It is not very bad, just enough to slightly push the camera up at the gopro adapter joint. I have not ridden with it but I do think a few bumps may move the camera away from where you actually want it.

After looking at the pictures of the combo mount I think the mount, more or less, places the virb in the same spot and you may be hitting your cables if you have external routing on your handlebars (I have 5700 w/normal external routing bars)
I don't have the mount yet, should be delivered Friday. My cables are routed under the bar tape...



I think I'm also going to get a new mount for my road bike and do the same, the dual mount should be almost identical to this earlier model K-edge which I wish had the ability to simply mount the camera attachments to that you can by from K-edge for 2nd generation mounts, the original models didn't have a plastic insert which is what the mount screws into....
