Thank you! You solved my 'problem' about how to attach a rear-facing camera. My under-saddle mount is inconvenient as that is where I usually attach my spare tube/patch kit.

update: Ordered two. Only place I could find that sell them is in the UK. At the current exchange rate, 88 bucks and a few cents.

The place in the UK is the manufacturer. the exchange rate must be more favorable than it was for me a couple of weeks ago. Be aware that they are solid steel and not light.

Before placing the order, I did read dcrainmaker's review and watched his Paris video. He's usually pretty good and I trust his evaluations, so I placed the order. His video shows him riding with D/A C24 wheels, which is what I use on one bike and the Ultegra equivalent on the others. The weight shouldn't affect bike handling much, if any. I hope!
I'm going to have some fun with this mount. I hope you do too.

The front-facing video is much more interesting and I usually save those. Someday, hopefully 30 or 40 years into the future, I won't be able to ride anymore and I can sit in my leather recliner and relive my glory days on my 420" wall television screen, (that's probably what size they will be by then).
To get back on topic, here's an oldie, but goodie. Taken on my cross-country bike ride in 1995 on an overlook of the Smoky Mountains. Wow! That was almost 22 years ago. I would have been 43 at the time.

glorified 5954
I thought that Go Pro Hero Session would be pretty shaky, however it was nice and smooth even though mounted to the fork. I just ordered a camera and about 10 different mounts from china. Still wondering how I will end up mounting it but the idea is to do a low-profile right side helmet mount. Its a Sony FDR.

Callous but honest and I have to agree. The angle is cool but a higher mount would provide better coverage of the scenery.

Recusant Iconoclast
FWIW, the Izoard XP (fixed for you, above) was introduced in 2011 with a different carbon layup (read: cheaper) than the 2010 and earlier Izoards, and typically with a mixed group using Ultegra and FSA. The current line for racing geometry Wiliers are the Cento series and up.

Will you be so kind as to post this in the "2016 Post Your Single Speed/Fixed Gear Megathread" thread if you have not already done so?

Did the Dead of Winter Double last Saturday.
Unfortunately, I did it after getting maybe 6 hours of sleep the previous two days (Christmas parties and general drinking got in the way of sleep). Oy ... did that hurt. I'm getting too old for that crap.
Cold too. Although you East Coasters will laugh, temps in the upper 40s are sucky when all you have is a glorified plastic bag for a jacket.
But I did get an awesome pix of our group riding through the Oaks outside of Ojai.
