Also consider drop bar mount like this clever chap for the rear:

- this will pick up the edge of you and your leg so that there is some reference frame for close passes.
So you helmet guys really have no safety concerns? I can't find any instances of it being a problem in cycling so it's probably mostly paranoia. I like the idea of helmet mounted because it shows what you see and came follow you when you leave the bike.

My GoPro Hero 4 Session vibrated quite a bit with a Garmin mount. This used a large rubber shim between the mount and bar. I've since switched to mount with a hard plastic shim and it has been smooth as silk.

Even mounted to the wheels skewer it is super smooth.

Tim you need to update your value for G to match current CODATA value! The axle mount is interesting and requires further looking, I didn't realize such a thing existed (thus the purpose of this post.

Overall, a lot of interesting mount ideas I hadn't considered before.
