Ned, I checked it out on ebay, looks wicked but 1 question, where the hell did you mount it? I have an rxt215, handlebars seem a bit wide. Helmet? Maybe one of those surf helmets? To the life jacket? Any othger suggestions? Cheers, Toni

The vids on you tube I mounted it on the bars, but I have the Riva bar extensions which provide a spot next to the grips for mounting. I have also had it mounted on a helmet (skate helmet from kmart $30 but makes you look like a knob lol) which works the best if you can remember to stop turning your head around!!! It also came with a rubber strap which you can use like a headband but the camera tends to bounce around a bit. Worst comes to worst get some heavy duty double sided tape and just mount it on your upper hood cover. It has a quick release from which ever mounting system you use and you can quickly take it out and use as a hand held. Either way it seems to work the best if its mounted on something firm and doesnt bounce around. If you want good quality video check out the GoPro cameras. The vid quality is unreal, but for 100 bucks the vid quality of this one is great. It is a whole lot better than youtube reproduces
