They do make a world of difference on cutting the vibrations down in the ride. I also received my order for the official large tube/handle bar mount. Here are the results:

Okay. You got me. I may have told them that I really wanted one to record my rides so I could share the videos with them and all of you.

​My first challenge out the gate was mounting the camera. I wanted to mount it to my helmet, but I always clean my helmet with RainX, which is great if you get caught in the rain; however,  a helmet coated in RainX is not great for using the sticky adhesive mount for the camera. I then looked at a chest strap, but didn't like the feel. My next solution was a clamp mount for the handlebars.

The handlebar mount is good to quickly put the camera on and take it off at destinations and putting it in the "frunk." The video with this post is using the first mount I came across, which required me to take the rubber gasket out to fit it around the handlebar on the throttle side. As you will notice, the video is shaky. My next step is to get the bigger clamp with rubber gasket and to add the heavy duty throttlemeister throttle lock and bar end weight.
