Trying to set up my new toy, managed to get the rear set up from the rear seat post sorted, but the front struggling to get it to have the right angle or it covers too much cable which isn't the view im after, can anyone post there setup and what there using for handlebar mounts? I've got the old style one and a cheap eBay alloy link piece.

Was hoping to get a good shot of the front tyre hitting the trails!

I've got a Barfly one which clamps either side of the stem. Works really well, angle to suit, like you (are planning) I have the front of the tyre showing, and the top catches the sky quite easily, it's a good wide angle.

This one. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/tate-labs-the-bar-fly-gopro-mount/

Best mount i've found for the front angle is actually the chest mount. It also tends to get smoother images. When I did use a bar mount I used a no-name 3d printed one from eBay. It worked well and I still use it occasionally.

Handlebar mount isn't worth it. The picture would be so bumpy it would be almost unwatchable.
Mount it on yourself.

Been faffing around with this, on my road bike and camber, no issues perfect fit and got the angle I want. Its the semi skimmed fat bike that's the issue, ive ordered a different mount, the seat post mount works perfectly!
