  Helmet, Versa bar in forward-most position.
  Boom could bounce the video up & down due to pedaling.

  Up high so your feet are not in the video.

  May have to try it on the old helmet today if the rain passes. New helmet doesn't seem to have a flat area large enough for a base for the GoPro. Still hoping that harness arrives in time.

  GoPro is waterproof to a degree. Seen some el cheapo mounts at Walmart's bicycle section that have camera mounts. All you would need then is a camera base for the GoPro. Get the three pack that has a mini & small camera thread mount and a portable tripod.

  www.rammount.com has a multitude of parts for mounting virtually anything.

  I have a simple GoPro that I want to use on our trip. I sent for a chest harness that will reduce for a helmet as well. Those who have shot video
  while riding, where might I place cam
  that would result in the smoothest recording?

  I mounted mine on the boom. Go pro records a super smooth video.

  I went 8 miles tonight and recorded the trip. W-I-d-e angle. Put a close by doe
  way far away, almost couldn't see it. Had cam on my old helmet. Still make out shooz on peddles. About 1 hour total time used up 2/3 battery life on
  GoPro. Plus what recorded today was
  dated 2014 in the listing. Hmmm.

  I have a RAM mount on the derailleur post and another on on my neck rest, give me a couple of options on recording a ride.

  My GoPro is a Hero+ waay back in the caveman days. It has a float glued
  to the back. It won't fold up close when I put it on a head harness I
  got from eBay. It's so ancient that I can't find a simple back for it. I have a
  1/4-20 bolt to mount it to the top of the helmet as a last resort.
