Whats the best, most secure, least intrusive mount?
we use the universal mount either velcroed to the helmet, or in the goggle mount. i just use gaff tape to hold it in the mount. the athletes will adjust the camera until its level, and then put gaff over the top to keep it from moving in the mount. in my experience, if the fall is bad enough to make it rip from the velcroed/gaffed universal mount, then the camera wouldnt survive if it was in a more perminent mount. but i have noticed that the goggle strap reduces vibration compared to the helmet mount. not really an issue in powder, but when you're on more variable terrain, the goggle mount will cover up some shake. i personally can't use the goggle mount because my strap runs at too low an angle.
btw, tate shot some pretty sick helmetcam in Casper Bowl yesterday. look for him to post soon. initially it will be a YouTube vid as thats the only way to embed in the forum, but eventually we'll make it a Clip of the Week, which is encoded at H.264 and looks much better.
