just bought on of the GoPro  hero 2014 models, looking for a bit of advice on which is the best part of a crash helmet to mount it on.  :pc

The only way to put a GoPro on a helmet without it looking silly, would be to use a chin bar mount.

Get a chesty mount and be done with it. I've always thought a big square camera like that on the helmet must cause a fair amount of wind drag. Surely at high speeds it must become uncomfortable?

Did you get the grey one below? Can you connect an external microphone to that one?

there is no external mic connector on this model, and thanks for the suggestions, I don't think I will mount it on a crash helmet and go for the body holder arrangement--thanks Foccers. :pc
