I mount it inside my helmet as it's not water resistant

It is if you stick it in one of these cases



Got my case off ebay uk seller. Case has a camera mount screw hole at the bottom, but mine didnt fit my camera tripod mount as the 'hole' is m6 rather than a proper camera unc thread (if that makes sense)

I tried mounting my one on the indicator but the vibration messed up the video. You could try screwing it to the radiator then rotate the video when editing?

True, the camera does come with a clip mount. I got mine off ebay for about £8

Because we have to lean forward it leaves the camera pointing downwards
