go pro or buy something else?

I will get a link later.

Problem is I already have my sat nav on the yoke and I'm lost without it (pun intended)

Thought about mounting it to the wing mirror. Or on the side fairing, but again don't want to use sticky on there as it will damage the paint.

Think I'll try one of these

I'm wary of these suction mounts although the triple one looks interesting.

Do any of you mount to the helmet?

Not too bad that as i am wary of suction mounts too having lost a sat nav on the M3 once, also the mount will plug straight in to the Drift!

I mount my Drift on my helmet, its on top as i couldnt be bothered to try and work out where to mount it on the side properly.

Works really well and no issues so far.

Do you see the speedo at all?

Erm, ish.

Where I have it mounted generally no. If looking ahead normally at average speeds. Haven't tested it tucked in yet though.

If I purposefully look down at my clocks it shows the rev counter and possibly the speedo but as a digi one not easy to see at a quick glance.

During normal every day and bimble riding it doesn't. that includes normal glances down to check speed etc.

But that's me, on a pointy sv, with a drift, with it mounted at a certain point on the lid. So if you are taller or shorter and using a diff cam it may be different.

Fair enough thank you for the response going to have to play about pointing different locations to see where I can't see it

Yeah I found it a bit annoying trying to purposefully avoid the speedo so I ended up just trying to get the best position for capturing what I wanted and it was a happy coincidence.

Depending what lid you have you might find a good starting point how I did, took the lid and put it on edge of counter like so:



That way it was closer to level than fully on the counter.

It also helped I had another cam before which I completely f'd up and was too far forward, the mounting point was here:

So I moved it way back which was a bit far actually and that was here:
.

That have me a rough starting point for the drift although it was a lot easier as it has a screen on it to line it up.

Final placement

I'll post a link to an attempt at editing a vid and uploading to YouTube so you can see the angle that it has achieved. Oh and I'm about 5,10.

Edit:

Here's the link. You might not be able to watch it on mobile though as I put a song on as background.

Should have put the mount the other way pyro. Make the air push the camera into the mount, rather than push it out the mount. If you need another curved sticky give me a shout I have a spare at home.

That's how I have mine. Perfect position for riding the street triple.
