I've got the proper Veho Muvi and tried it clipped to my clothing whilst riding my bicycle but it did not work that well. I made a right angled piece of card wedged into the sun visor in my car and that was brilliant. I got 2 mates to get one and I might wait until they work out something for the motorbike, although on you tube some bloke velcro'd one in his helmet and that works well, but his nose was bent to one side and looked a pain.
I've used it in my helmet a couple of times and it works great.

I guess you are talking about this guy:

In my helmet I can put it much more to the side. So no problems with the nose
At the end of his video he shows an alternative way to put the cam in the helmet, that works for me too.

When the weather gets better I'm planning on making some multi angle movies (one in the helmet and one on different locations on the bike).
Plan is to edit all the footage into a decent looking movie (when I ever get the time...).
Yes thats the chap, and how do you fix yours in your helmet ?
Just this weekend I've thought of a very easy way to do it.
I've stuck small bits of velcro on the top and bottom of the camera:

The velcro "sticks" to the interior lining.
Works great!
Looks a dam sight better than the chap on you tube had managed.
I tried that with mine, It does mess with your peripheral vision a bit. I didnt like it. Ive been doing the master cylinder thing like youve done above more often. I did stick it to the front of the mouthpiece of my helmet (external) with elastic strap once and it was a great angle, eliminates a lot of vibration too.

For the price, its a great camera.
has any1 got the install disc that came with this? i orderd mine and it was missing and the sellers not getting back to me (twat) if you can sent it to me i'll pay the postage both ways.
cheers mark
