I have a cheapo "wannabe" Polaroid version of a go-pro like camera, when I made some riding videos usually I mount it on a outrigger or 'camera on a stick'. Basically just a 1/4-20 bolt with some wingnuts, a large washer and some inner tube so the wing nut and washer does not self loosen.
Rest of the time I use it as my bikes 'dash camera' just incase someone decides it is a good idea to try o drive someone into the ditch or other crap like that (sad there are assholes out there like that)
