About to hit the 'Buy Now' on a GoPro HD, but just wanted to know which mount I should go for to be able to mount it to my full face...
Just the standard GoPro helmet mount?

Don't own a full face lid myself, but i'd imagine you could use one of the flat/curved sticky mounts that should come with it already to mount it to the side or front, and then use the short arm sections to angle it correctly. Works on my ski helmet. The mount you've linked to is, i think, more intended for use for pointing back towards your face. I'm sure it'd work for facing forward too though!
If you plan to mount it to the top you can just use the stuff that comes with the camera. Are you going for the HD or HD2? You can pick an HD2 up for way less than the rrp. Check out my site, loads of GoPro stuff. I use mine on my bike and on my kayak kit.
Lots of info - http://www.unsponsored.co.uk/press/?p=1779
Also worth having a look at.

I like that GoPro mount that you've shown and you can see how I use it in my pics here.. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/helmet-cam-which-one

Yeah, that's not the standard mount, it's the "slightly longer arm" version- useful though.
The kit should come with absolutely everything you need for normal full face mounting.
Thanks for the answers - looks like I'll try one of the sticky mounts first, see how that goes... quite fancy mounting it on the side of my lid if possible.
I went for the GoPro 2 - picked one up on Ebay for £199 from a reputable seller.
