I am also one looking at updating my vid capabilities... and looking seriously at the black edition. Mainly due to it should be linkable to a smart phone to be used as remote.
+100 for experimenting wit mounting points and audio placement.
My first run was using a standard instant digital camera on a hand made mounting bar with base plate sandwiched between mirror mount. Worked well until general wind vidration, bugs and a bit of rain started to kill camera and the universal camera mount also worn out and started to move (this increases vid wobble to the point of being unusable)
Next I bought a Contour, off Volvi I think lol, and have played around with different mounting points but finding somewhere/somehow to mount a camera that gives:
1. great footage
2. doesn't show a ugly mounting array
3. doesn't have a permanent attachment point on a guard/faring
is extremely hard IMO
recently I mounted on visor and even though it seemed stable at speeds over 70 the footage is useless
My reasons for looking at the GoPro black edition is that it's linkable to a mobile, linkable to a blue tooth head set, can plug in a remote mic and has instant video review.
My current mounting idea is to incorporate the mount into the end of a slider/oggy knob????
I am also looking at the sena 10C which is a combined headset and camera.
