I think this guy has got it right, on the side of his helmet, the view is nice and clear.
But it's full face, not sure if you can get it the same without.

i recon those angles work really well some really good footage there,,,
the only problem the final decent one is spolied by the spray.. it still looks good though and shows the speed well,,, lol at the slide at the bottom of that blk run,, happened to me last week when i was there, that rocks leathal,, so was that woodwork that put me in the pond 
i like the angles though manc cat.... maybe i will experiment with mine..
i tried handlebar mount,, most of mine are helmet..

I think these were the best positions, any thoughts?

Too much bike/rider in shot, can't see enough of the trail.

Personally I think it depends on the speed and the type of trail you are using the camera on. I have seen good videos with cameras mounted in lots of places and also bad videos with the same mounts.
Have a look at these videos which I have done with handlebar mounts

Some of the faster parts look really good but the twistier parts are a bit iffy, I keep meaning to make a helmet mount and do the same routes just to see the difference but I bet the helmet cam wont give as good an impression of speed.
Chest cams look good but the mount will be a bit hard to diy.

They've all been loaded straight from the memory card to Youtube.
I'm not sure if you can change the resolution and fps settings somehow?

What the hell is the point in sticking 1080 footage onto youtube? You may as well go for the SD one, since it's still pretty good.
Youtube SUCKS ASS, and is NOT in any way a sensible way to compare the quality of video cameras.

I'll believe it when I see it. 1080p requies an awesome amount of data to be represented properly. They'd be much better off offering PROPER quality 720p - without the massive compression losses that they currently have to offer.

It is, but Youtube takes your high quality image and mashes it. It doesn't quite level the playing field- the worse the initial quality, the worse the output is. But still, it's annoying.
We still do it because we're forever chasing what we've already found |

I know I've posted my video before on this board but figured I'd chime in and offer some advice. Personally, I feel videos with just one camera angle are boring as hell so looking for just one angle is kind of tough; especially since sometimes a typically boring angle may work beautifully for a certain shot. That's just my two cents (I'm canuck - we work in dollars and cents - sorry  )
Anyway, I've done the one-angle-video thing before and pulled it from my vimeo account 'cause, to me, it sucked. I'm not saying that the one I've linked is great or anything but it is, without a doubt, more entertaining than simply rolling along with the same view. That's just MHO.

I have a whole whack of new ideas to try as well as different angles that didn't make it into this video but I'll get to them eventually. My suggestion is that, when you get your camera, experiment with it, find what you like, work with it and edit it to make it better.
Sorry if I repeated a bunch of stuff.....didn't read any of your responses.

But it also loses the impression of roughness, which is a shame, it can give it that floaty disconnected feeling which that vid has in spades I think. Great riding though. Depends what you're after really. That one's brilliant to watch but I don't think it gives much of a feeling of riding, personally, it's like a cable shot.
But I like the feeling of speed and connectedness, it's a wee bit floaty but not too bad. Pretty cool.
