Top of my helmet. It does make you look like a tellytubby, mind.

I think the result traumatised this cyclist rather badly...

I bought the handlebar/seatpost mount and attached it to the bars on my sumo, I had intended to mount it on the pillion peg of my gixer to get some side-action shots.

I was thinking the top on my hemet and the front of my bike.

If its on the side of the helmet do you get a good overall coverage as, I thought part of the helmet would get in the way at one stage :-s.

Any good pictures with the dag :-p

I prefer the side, on top makes you feel more detached as there's no constant.
