Looks like you wanted to chill out a bit nice photo's
you wouldn't last a night in the scottish highlands (west coast) bloody midges eat anything that breaths

I had the good fortune to participate in a 6-day motorbike tour of Scotland about 7 years ago.

You're right, those midgies are friendly wee beasties, aren't they? And they ALL want to come and say hello!

Yeah was the idea, get away from it all from a bit. Since i work so hard 

No midges to note for me, maybe they all full up on Darth Loo Knee

Wot?!?! No video footage taken on your super-duper mini-spy-cam thingy?!?!?

Got one on order now...

Still struggling to mount it, i find its not quite right on the helmet and at wrong angle 

I'm surprised someone hasn't picked that one up! 

What are the hand-guards made of, are they plastic? Any chance you could drill one of those and mount the camera on there? I think the camera comes with various bit of mounting hardware, including a bit with a ball-and-socket joint?

Unless you went for the economy version that came with bugger all?

No it comes with mounting brackets, and the hand guards are plastic, but i want the Camera to see what i see, also mounted on me it removes most road vibration.

What about the top item on this page:

http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/bullet-camera-suction-mounts.htm

They're designed for bullet cams, but as the camera you've got is so small, it might fit?

[tunnie]

they look tad big, i'd like to get a solid state bullet cam for reasonable price, but can't find one

The next item down on the page is for smaller devices.

Guess I'll have to wait until my camera arrives to get a better idea of what can be done. It might be possible to fabricate some kind of packing to make the camera a snug (and secure) fit in the mount.

If I buy some and they work, I'll only need one, so I'll have a spare or 2.....

Tis a good clip that saw that when i was browsing eBay for the camera

Don;t know if you've seen this, but apparently it can be adapted to use with the camera we have:

A bit pricey though, considering the price of the camera.
