Dylan already wrote an excellent piece on Twenty20 cameras (thank you Dylan), but I might add that we sell a motorcycle camera in addition to the helmet camera featured in TransworldMX. The motorcycle camera has an independent anti-vibration mount that is meant specifically for mounting anywhere on a street bike. That same unit also makes use of the vehicle battery as a power source, as opposed to an independent battery like the helmet camera. Be sure to check both systems out if you get a chance to shoot over to our website http://www.twenty20camera.com. Hey James:

But on street bikes I found the helmet to be sub-optimal. Every time you check your blind spot, mirrors, speedometer, look to the side, etc. (which is more than you think) the camera moves and it makes the audience sea sick. The video I got when I mounted my camera on my head is watchable, but I didn't put it on my site because my other angles were so much better. I found mounting on the handlebars, pegs or tank the best method for street bikes. Test it out, you will see what I mean.
