Anyone got any good spots to mount a gopro on a 2012? And what mount is favourite?
 
On you're helmet (the one on you're head) anywhere else is crap .
This is just my findings :thumb2
 
IMO the best shots show at least part of the bike. Head mounts are ok but head nodding gets annoying after a while. How about one each side on the crash bars then edit the films for left and right views.
 
I was wondering the same and still deliberating, the extra height of the helmet cam or on bike, so lower - sacrificing some of the camera view.
 
I have mine mounted on the front beak it gives uninterrupted views I've just returned from Austria and the footage is brilliant.
 
See :http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/387499-Pyrenees-RR-video-Sept-Oct-2014 for what different views look like.

I use front beak with sticky mount, side panel with sticky mount which can be used facing front or rear, helmet mount (best for solving vibration probs), and one on side pannier top for front/rear views. One camera swapped around.

Mounted direct to the bike will always mean you have to accept vibration. More so if you use articulated joints and arms. This is only usually bad at times of acceleration or bumps and with judicious editing you can find plenty of smooth footage to use to knock up a vid.

I agree with the comment that having a bit of the bike in the shot is a good thing - gives the viewer a point of reference. It is always better to have another rider in shot if poss so the viewer can experience the lean along with a view of what it looks like.

Hope that's useful
