My wife got me a Go Pro HD 2 for Christmas, it has the outdoor package of mounts. A few stick on mounts and a head band.

What are you guy using on your SDs to mount cameras to them?

I was looking at the suction cup, handlebar/seatpost (mtn bike) and roll cage mounts.

Any other suggestions?

got the handle bar and suction and they rock.
there is a gyroscopic gimble out there if you're serious

All the mounts work and are fun to tinker with.

I think mine is the seat post mount, mounted on the handle bars so I can see enough of the clocks to get perspective.

Roll cage mount (you need to cut down one of the knobs) mounted in the centre of the handlebars see below

Suction mount works well ......(I used a lanyard as an extra security measure.)......but no good if you have DNA or Motorhooligan Air box.....as it makes the Gopro resonate (We share it between bikes so it is on and off rather alot....but still worth noting)

Thanks, I'm looking forward to shooting some of the roads around here. Plenty of fun ones.
I had planned on a lanyard, I've heard of a few cameras getting lost due to mounts coming loose and such.

Have to be careful of shooting video here that shows your speed if you are over the speed limit.

One errant You Tube post and you can be fined for it. Usually about the time I start having fun here I'm over the speed limit, sometimes far over the speed limit.

At least these mounts are cheap, and easy to find here.

If you use the suction mount it give a good view (that does not include speedo)
