Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Helmet camera mount

Anyone use a helmet camera mount to take videos of their rides? I want to set up my little compact camera to make HD videos of some high speed descents. But I don't know how the videos may come out mounted to my helmet. I know they sell helmet camera mounts, but how well do they work? What about a handlebar mount? I would think the road vibrations would make the videos unwatchable from handlebar mounting. In either case, I'd have to find a way to get rid of wind noise, but for now I am wondering the best way to mount the camera, or if helmet mounts work well.

Thanks!

Personally I found that I get less vibrations with a bar mount (actually under my stem) than on my helmet. I was using a purpose made sports video camera though (contour HD), i don't know how well it would work with just a regular kind of camera. What kind of camera are we talking about?

Btw, check out the ride video thread for examples and more info from me and others.
