I've got a Go pro 2 and positions for filming so far have been (1) handle bar mount result a little shaky but maybe the best result so far , (2) head mount, only used this once but it was very bouncy footage, maybe need a neck brace

The bouncing on your head is probably the helmet wobbling around - your head stays pretty level when riding (even when the rest of you is moving).

I like the chest mount - it gives a bit of perspective with the rider's arms in shot, it stays pretty still and doesn't make your neck ache like the helmet mount can. Angle is critical though.

Used ours on the bars and on the chest but not had a problem with it been shaky. Using the original gopro mounts but have bought a second chest mount from ebay very cheap from China and I cant tell the difference.

An old vid of mine with a few different mountings. I've got a video somewhere with some other views, I'll see if I can find it

Just to mix it up, pointing backwards from the seat post is a good view if people are following you.. and surprising stable on a full-suss!
