Fantastic idea, i was about to buy when i realised if you have the Contour HD it does not have the 270 degree lense, it has the 180 degree adjustable lense, the gps and roam have 270 degree lenses which will work upside down. Meaning you cannot mount the Contour HD upside down, this may not be a problem if its mounted on top of the bracket but you only show it mounted upside down. How successful is the camera when mounted in the correct orientation on top of the bracket?
@samcash123 It depends on what you are using the camera for. If you are using it for biking, skiiing or anything else where your body leans forward then you will need to run the camera upside down. With the camera the right way up you can't tilt it back far enough to get a good angle. This video was actually shot with a Contour GPS which doesn't rotate all the way to upside down, so we had to rotate the clip in editing software (which is pretty simple with iMovie).
