Default GO Pro

Got a Go Pro for xmas and just now used it. I tried it on my helmet and found the camara was slightly pointed towards the sky and not enough of the road. Anybody tried the chest mount or is the handlebar mount the best. Its amazing what shots it gets and the clarity of the picture.

I have worn mine on my helmet and handlebars. Play around with it a lot and check out all the different angles.
You might try attaching it to passenger pegs or somewhere on the back of the bike to get a perspective on your lean angle. It will give you a good idea of how you really ride.
Just have fun with it and always try new stuff. You will be amazed how many different shots you can get.
