i have mine on the right side on a (full face) helmet. Steady video and see's what you see, its close enough to my right ear -so I can hear the beeps on/off. Plus I can look down at my right side mirror and see reflection if the lights blinking (recording) or off on (stand by) -- and if I have been recording for awhile, it takes the guesswork if its still recording or if battery is dead-etc.. Just my .02 cents and worked great at the Franklin Rally at Deals Gap-etc. You can find my youtube video in the video section here.
