GoPro on mountain bikes?

Wearable video cameras are generally as steady as the user and depending on the sport or the activities, there can be a lot of shaking going on. Sure, video services like Youtube offer some post-editing image stabilization solutions, but then, any credits or graphics present get distorted by the correction. Mountain bike video shooting is among the worst situation one can experience.

Placing the video cam on the helmet isn't the ideal location as the device is fairly heavy, has quite bit of inertia and there's always too much play between the helmet and its attachment as well as between the helmet and the head, so any jolt gets amplified and the the on-going shaking makes the viewer seasick.

What are the solutions? Placing the camera on the bike offer an even more rigid coupling that transfers everything to the image. Perhaps the chest-mounted harness is a better way. We'll try it next time, so please, stay tuned!
