Filming

[G3CWI]

I want to make a short film of my commute. I have an iPhone. Will I get the best results with it on my helmet or on the bike?

Try leaving it in your pocket.

Try leaving it in your pocket.

The last time I did that it fell out and got run over. I'm not doing "evidence" videos, just want to try recording my rather magnificent commute.

I think that you'll be exposed to similar risks of phone damage unless you have a fool/fall proof method of attaching it.

Handlebar mount would be more secure and less embarassing.

Helmet - because that vibrates the least.

If you have a free day, do something like this:

I shot it all on my own with my helmet camera.

If you want a 'straight' view - handlebar mount, if you want to include all the head turning and looking around etc., helmet mount - or do a combination of the two if it's a regular commute and do some editing after (like Matthew's video above - nice vid BTW).

I am trying to get a new one made with my new bike. I have a plan but just need to make it affective.

Some sort of transparent pocket on your upper arm? Could pop a mobile phone in there to record the commute.

That could be quite a good idea. If you had one on each arm, people could tell when you are signalling if you were involved in a collision.

There are lots of cheap jogging bands for phones

I wouldn't trust any straps or bands to hold my Galaxy, I'd need to know it's dead secure. Come to think of it, there could be a market for cycling jerseys with a transparent posket to pop an android or iphone in, you could have another little pocket for the

LASER GUIDED ANGRY SHARK MISSILE.

My missile would not fit in a little pocket.

And it keeps exploding too soon.
