So Helmet and Chest Mount’s seem to be the clear winners, right? Not always.
In fact, having a GoPro Mounted to your Chest or Helmet is no guarantee of great footage.
To decide where you need to mount your GoPro, you must first confirm a few things.
Firstly, what is the purpose of the video you’re filming?
Are you trying to capture your sick riding skills? Are you wanting to capture more of the scenery around you? What if you’re mainly vlogging on your ride? What about when you’re off the bike and fixing a flat, should you change the position?
Depending on the story you are trying to tell and what you’re trying to convey, you should mount your GoPro accordingly, with the base understanding of how different angles provide different experiences.
