I'm just wondering if it would be too rough to record a decent picture or not? I searched youtube, but didn't see much that proved either way. If it would work I think this would be much easier to get setup and use.
Let me know if you have tried this or know anyone that has... Thanks!
FYI - It is an Oregon Scientific ATC-2K camera that I got about 2 years ago as a gift and haven't used yet. [Disappointed]
I just did that yesterday with my GoPro. I will upload a video or 2 with it on the hood. I've gound it works well except at idle there is a vibration. MAKE SURE you make and attach a safety from the camera to the hood somewhere. Your camera will fall off its just a matter of time, and if you have a safety, you don't have to go back and look for it.
Edit: I will upload the video of the camera falling off too. Its pretty comical.
I"ve seen quite a few videos of people mounting the cameras to the hood, and on the top of the rear of their tunnel, facing both backwards and forwards.
One thing I love about gopro's (and other helmet cams too) is the amount fo places you can mount them, make for some really cool angles. I've seen people mount them onto the sides of the hood, so your watching the ski and whats coming up too.
Thanks guys! I will definitely make a safety so it doesn't fall off. With my luck it would either get run over or fall off in deep snow to never be found again...

I have a GoPro mount on my F7. I've only mounted the cam to my sled once or twice but found out that the footage I took from the sled mount is actually the same or possiby more stable then using a helmet mount.

Don't mount it on the side of the hood. There's a youtube where someone did it - it was constantly getting mud and snow all over the lens. Don't have the link handy at this time.
