if i want to change the tape i'm f*cked :lol
but it doesn't hurt my paint at all (plastic tank

) and it doesn't leave a "shitty residue".
I know, I know... there are cheap camera mounts but 50 is still a bit too mutch for me at the time, I got so many other things I need to do first with that OLD bike.
I need to put a tape in before (90min) that is more than enough cos I don't record the boring parts anyway... I just turn the cam on before I reach the twistis (or what ever I wanted to record).
Battery can be changed however.
The cam doesn't move one mm (if done correct)... first time I did that I tryed to tape a 1/4 mile, watching it later I noticed some movement of the cam (it moved a bit back at one moment) but then I MASTERED the method

and I once even got in a realy hard bump hole on the rode... watching it later the cam didn't move one mm....
So, it shure depends... if u wana tape yourself riding around the local mountain roads or anything for your self and some friends thats a way I would go with, if u wana do it GR style... well, then thats NOT the way to go with.
(oh... and "doing that everytime" isn't that bad... it takes 5 min...)
