Birddog, remember that although that mount has never come off, always tie it down with a small cord just in case.
As for the FAA in the USA, I doubt it's legal to strap on a camera outside the helicopter, I don't think I would do it in the U.S.
Here is a video I created with the GoPro.
I bought the GoPro to use it for skydiving originally, but now I have found a lot different uses!!
Did I mention I also use it underwater? How do you like this one I took last week in Acapulco.
