Definitely the helmet mount is the best choice for video. Handlebars get
way too much vibration to produce a decent video. Even on long decents I
will wear mine on my helmet. The only place where a handlebar mount was OK
was racing at PIR on the smooth course. As far as pictures go, you would
just want to keep it in your jersey pocket or have someone else take the
picture. You can't really get a decent picture handsfree.
