Just brought a key ring 'spy camera' from one of the other bikers here and wondering what other people have found to be the best way to mount them for good picture/sound? From browsing the net a little, seems like lots of people just slap them on their head with some duct tape, but I'm not sure I want to do that to my helmet, and putting them on the bike looks like it'll make the image too shaky.
Amazing little camera for the price. I'll give a few different attempts to attaching it, but thought I'd check in to see if anyone else had found a way that worked and save myself time reinventing the wheel.
Some interesting links for these cameras...
