GoPro mount for non-round handlebars
Can someone recommend a GoPro handlebar mount that's compatible with non-round handlebars? I'm running Zipp bars and the tops are only round where they interface with the stem. The camera I'm using is the new TomTom Bandit, and they include a GoPro-compatible adapter but no bar mount with the basic version.

I've used a bar mount in the past and found it a little less than satisfactory for my main purpose (road safety, reporting dangerous drivers). I have used a helmet mount for years, but want to get away from it. The helmet mount is great for POV, camera sees where you are looking. But I don't like the helmet mount since it can make the helmet less effective, when you really need it (wrecking).
GoPro released a new mount that might be better than the bar mount and helmet mount.
Anybody try a similar mount while biking? Thoughts?

That new mount looks promising. I managed to cobble together something for the TomTom, but it's not optimal.

Between the TomTom's quick-release interface, and the inherent slop in the GoPro buckle interface, there's a lot of play in the system. Throw a rigid MTB in the mix and you get lots of vibration. See:

I wish more companies would follow Sony's lead and use a threaded/tripod-style interface.

I have one of the following mounts coming, so we'll see how it fares.

There are a couple of headset top cap mounts and also some that fit to your stem face plate. I think I've even seen one that combines a headset spacer with a GoPro mount - but I can't find it now and I may be mistaken (there are some Di2 controller box mounts).
