Go Pro - creative mounting options - part 2 of 2  http://www.pinkbike.com/news/gopro-mounts-part-2-2010.html




By taking one strap off the otherwise relatively-useless-for-biking headband mount you can turn the headband mount into a nice mount for use with full-face helmets. The beauty of this mount is that the camera is now lower on your body and you can easily get the handlebars and front wheel in the video.
