The last photo pretty much shows how it's done. The included goggle mount will accept the simple strap, though it is a bit of a tight fit. The last photo pretty much shows how it’s done.

This article was also one of the reasons i decided on this over the gopro hero. I was wondering how you mounted the camera with the simple strap?

Id like to find a format that works with the standard editing software and also fiind a camera that will save it in the same format as my Canon Powershot, it doesnt take great video but sufficient and with two different camera angles it would be possible to put together some great trail shots. I plan to read up on this camera more as it seems to be fairly affordable which is also an issue as we tend to spend most of our money on things with tires! Thanks for the review here.

I use a Mac and when I plug in the VholdR it automatically imports my videos into iPhoto - no extra software necessary. Most video sites like YouTube support dozens of video formats so that's not really an issue either (unlike GPS where every manufacturer has their own proprietary file type). Once you get into video <i>editing</i>, things can certainly get complicated but it's not a requirement. Most of the videos I've seen on VholdR.com are straight from the camera.

But just like a lot of these technologies, the GPS, video and even my still photography, the different file types, user software and all the other variables for working with your stuff is all pretty overwhelming. I keep hoping to find a simple, easy to read explanation of video types and useages but nothing so far- Very nice, one of these or similar is on my ‘list’.
