Looks good! The exhaust note is much more pronounced than in the other locations which I like alot. I hate MC videos with music. I want to hear the engine note rather than Ozzy or AC/DC. Nice job on the mount!

Me too! With the velcro mounts, I had the wind noise reduced so that I didn't need music. I never did anything to that cam and the sound is better in the case than out of it. I need to work on that now, I think with a little transparent tape and headphone foam and it'll be all right out of the case too. The flashlight cam's sound is so bad that I never use it.

Took the chance to try some more locations when I took the bike to run an errand today. Here are some snapshots. Yes, I still need to work on aiming but I'm getting closer!
Here are the positions I started with
One one the left bar end and the high mount.
After I got gas, I switched to the left mirror stem
And some stills from the videos:
High Mount with the 180/.28x lens
High Mount rear facing:
I can't get either of the wide angle lenses to center when I use the waterproof case so I'm going to be looking for another way to use the tripod with those cams. You definitely need to use a wide angle lens with this camera to get this shot. I also might order the Fox .38x lens which is in between the .67x and .28x lenses.
Shock Mount on left mirror stem facing front
Shock Mount on left mirror stem facing rear
Shock mount on left bar end facing me
Shock mount on left bar end facing rear
Forecasted thunderstorms have kept me near the house so I'm a little stir crazy and am definitely ready for my next ride. Weekend forecast looks so much more promising so I'll try to get a ride in!
I'm really pleased with these mounts. Now I just need to figure out how to turn these great shots into a great video! I'll be working with the vids I took today in a little bit to see if I can make the video I'd want to see.

I like the high mount shots. I just picked up my replacement GoPro today. Thanks for the testing!
