For anyone who uses this camera and uses a mount for the bike where do you put it and what mount did you get for it?

I'm looking for a good setup so i can get an angle like rook has

this is the mount i use for my contour 720p

i sometimes put it on the inside of the windscreen, or on top of the gas tank. just make sure you clean the surface first to get a good seal for the suction cup. one time i didn't and it fell off my car while i was doing autocross

As a precaution, make sure that you guys are also mounting a string to your camera and or mount that is tied off onto another part of the bike when using a suction mount or even one that is mounted with adhesive. If for some reason that camera gets hit enough to dislodge it's mounting surface or comes loose for whatever other reason you don't want to have to replace it and also be out your video because it hit the ground and got tore the hell up.

Always use a secondary safety line when cameras of any kind...

It's nice, but be forewarned - the Contour series has next to useless sound quality. Anything over 40 mph and all you hear is HIISSSSSS from the wind noise. Tried it in the waterproof casing, no better.

I've got both the GoPro 1080 and the Contour Roam - use the Roam on the helmet or facing rearwards, the GoPro for the front. Turn the sound of the Roam off completely in the video editing stage, using the GoPro's sound only.

Hey Blue, that is the same mount I use for my GoPro.. Just stick it to the side and go... :thumbup:

I just mounted mine to the left side of my helmet. I used the mount that comes with the camera. It's tricky with some odd shaped hemets but it worked for me. I actually mounted it on the edge of the visor since that was the only flat spot on the helmet. If I put my visor up, I get a great video of the sky, but when it's down it works awesome.

I have a ram mount and I mount it to my rear footpeg

Have you tried one of these or a sock on the Contour?
