Contour Roam or +2 owners--what style mounts work best?

[wiggydotcom]

Just purchased a used Contour +2 camera from Ebay that should arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping to put it to good use going to Inzane and riding the surrounding territory.

If anybody in the VRCC could recommend any Contour specific mounts with model #s, I'd appreciate it. What's your favorite place on the bike/helmet to mount it with said mounts.

Also, is there any specific accessories for the Contour I should check out?

GoPro-ers can chime in too on where they put em and what style works best.

I did a search in the General Board, but there isn't really any recent discussions on it.

Thanks in advance!

I use RAM mounts with my Roam. I have one on the bars behind the windshield (it actually turns out okay considering it is shooting through the shield) and another on the curved part of the left crash bar. I'm considering putting one on the the bag guards too.

I don't have any accessories, but did stock up on class 10 SD cards whenever I find a good deal.

Thanks for the reply, Nitro. I like the idea of the crashbar and the bag rails. Can the mounts that work by adhesive, such as the helmet mounts, be trusted? At least with the crash bar and bag rails, I assume a band or clamp style mount is used that won't just fall off with vibration?

I won't know till tomorrow what the seller actually included in the package besides the camera itself. Good call on the microSD cards. Will start looking for sales on them the Class 10s.

Once it cranked down onto the other RAM ball, it's not going anywhere. I don't remember where I bought it (maybe Amazon), but I paid around $35 for it. Here's a link for the same product: http://www.mountguys.com/RAM_Motorcycle_Clutch_Mount_for_Garmin_VIRB_p/ram-b-174-ga63u.htm

I'm very familiar with Ram mounts. I have one on my bars already for my Garmin Nuvi...same ball style mount and arm. I'd just need the mounting plate/ball for the Contour. I think I even have an extra arm from my first GPS.  I'd just need another clamp for the engine guard. Thanks, NITRO.
