Just my opinion...and we all know what those are like.

I have often wondered about it catching tree limbs and stuff though. I'd hate to get ripped off the bike like that.
A bit off topic, but I find that near eye level gives the best rider perspective. Mounted under the visor gets close. Now whats the risks involved in this once in a crash?? Head trauma? Once you move the camera on to the top of the helmet the view changes again and I don't really like it too much. It looks a bit weird and you end up with the visor blocking off the view a bit too. I personally go with chest mount as its neat and tidy, easy to turn on and off, never catches anything and I like being able to see the bars at work.
