Mounting a GoPro on a helmet

Where is the best place to mount a GoPro on a climbing helmet? If there is something to bang my head into I will and I don’t want to break the camera.  So what do you say, top or front?  Either way I’ll probably dummy cord it somehow so when I do hit it on something it doesn’t go all the way to the bottom. 

Mount it on your spare helmet and then leave it at home?

Mount it just in front of the propeller 

Don't 99.99% of the video from a climber helmet cam is nauseating.

This.

It was a gift from my wife so everyone with a smart ass answer can choke on it.  I’m not going to use it very often and I’m not that big of a narcissist to think that anyone else would want to see me climb but she thought it would be fun on certain climbs we do together.  Thanks for the input Kyle.

Not a smart ass answer, see for yourself.

The main thing that sucks about most GoPro footage is it’s boring IMO. There’s no subject it’s just point of view. If you can see a person in the footage it’s much better. So For example turn it on when your follower is climbing the last 10 feet up to the belay, etc. I think you should have a little of the helmet visible in the shot. It helps orient the scene so it’s less nauseating.    

If you didn't know already, you can return a gopro if its been damaged for a full replacement, as long as you pay for the Go Pro plus package. No questions asked, free repairs/replacements!
