I've just recently been checking out the GoPro Motorsports kit; seems you like it.
For that last vid,what was your mounting point? It's a great view. I've watched some that make me feel dizzy!
Although there are a few routes I'd like to share, my thought was that a video may be a good method of CYA in the vent of any "incident".
Gidday lrz, I have the go pro hero 2 and I did buy the motorsports package.
I don't know how much cheaper it may be, but I really only need the 'J' mount from the motorsport mounting kit.
The J mount can be bought separately.
I have the camera mounted on the bottom edge of my full face. Another inch higher would be far better because of the RS screen.
Some helmets may not offer a sufficiently large surface to mount the self adhesive base for the J mount as I've done.
There is a suction cup mount in the motorsport kit but it looks really big on a helmet. Sorta makes the whole camera setup look too big.
Plus mounting the camera centrally gives a much better perspective of the ride.
The gopro can easily be re-charged from the bike which is handy.
A very small convex mirror mounted somewhere on the screen edge will make it much easier to confirm that the camera is actually filming by being able to observe the flashing red light on the front of the camera. I can move my head to look in my normal mirrors but that's not exactly what I want to see.
The gopro will have very good audio on an unfaired bike I think. I have a small remote stereo mic that I've tried a couple of times.........more trials needed to find the best location. The mic can plug into the gopro.
) I'm slowly learning how to get an acceptable quality picture in an acceptable upload time.
