Mounting a gopro

[pessimal]

treated myself to a gopro over the weekend, now thinking about mounting it somewhere to catch footage when out and about if anything ever happens, however i'm not sure where is best to mount it.

its a standard gopro hero, so not one of the little sessions cameras so unsure if i should mount it in the helmet or bike.

as its a fairly large squarish object, i'm guessing that sticking it on the helmet will cause a fair amount of drag, so would sticking it to the bike be better, or is that going to miss anything i turn around to look at (shoulder checks, people getting too close on the side etc)

Dunno, what the PH massive's opinion?

Mount it on your helmet.

That way you will be able to engineer situations of mild danger while out riding, furiously tap the go pro while giving it full rev bombs as you pass the offending driver.

And then post it all to YouTube.

Helmet is best as it points where you are looking. No good having it mounted on the bike pointing forwards whilst you're watching something interesting happen off to your left or right

Get the suction cup mount & try various positions on your bike. I wouldn't fix to your lid - having an off could have some nasty consequences, & the buffeting/weight thing can become an issue at speed.
