<p>I think on the bike. It came with a mount for a helmet, but my helmet has vents, so it would have to be off center. I'll try them both and see how it looks.</p>
<p>I didn't have an SD card, so I ordered that and the bike mount today. LOL, about the dog collar. I was actually thinking of doing that, but have to wait for the card.</p>

<p>Sure thing Doug. How are you planning to mount it? Helmet cam, handle bar cam, quick release? Put it on the dog's collar for now and get some action shots from around the house maybe? <grin> Glad you got it for refurb price too. Keep us posted!</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. I did search first before posting, but I only saw a couple of posts from 2017 (or older) and I was hoping for something more up-to-date</p>

<p>In terms of safety, I didn't mean that it would lessen the chance of someone hitting me, just that I wanted footage that could help if I were hit. Safety probably isn't the best word, I was just trying to get across the features important to my use case.</p>
<p>In the end, I purchased a refurbished GoPro Session 4 on eBay and just received it last night. I haven't had a chance to test it yet, and looks like most of us won't be commuting for awhile.</p>

<p>Actually, I though we had this thread over the summer. I apologize, I can't find it, but I know people weighed in with stuff about go-pros, bike mount versus helmet mount, oh and I thought somebody mentioned that a camera doesn't actually offer safety, just some exciting footage about what wasn't as safe as we wished or something like that. Get an extra battery and make sure it's quick detach so you can take it with you and so you'll use it. </p>
