I've done all the research and pretty much decided to go with mobius. But, thought I'd ask people's opinion before ordering stuff.
The fact #1 There's no place(or very little place) to hide the camera
I ride a naked bike. Ducati Monster S4R. (see the picture below if you don't know how it looks like.)

As you can see, the only "discreet" mount I can think of is
A) under the lower triple tree (I already checked the front fork travel. There's enough clearance for mobius, so I don't have to worry about camera hitting the fender under hard braking.)
B)Using lens extension cord, mount the lens below headlight (offset to left or right), mount the main body behind the small bikini fairing. (see the photo (not mine) as a reference, headlight bucket, fork tubes and lower triple.)

C)Mount on the side of the charcoal canister (located on the left hand lower side of the motor)
I have mounted Drift HD Ghost on this location and it works pretty good. (Most people did not notice that there's a camera.)
The fact #2 I need (want) the same (kind of) set up on my daily driver (NA6 Mazda Miata)
I could, for example, try C3 on the Duc and Mobius on Miata, or vice versa. But I think it makes more sense to mount the same set up on both vehicles.
The fact #3 The Duc is garage kept, NA6 is parked on the drive way (Not on the street, but it is kept on the outside.)
The fact #4 I eventually want "front and back" system on both vehicles.
Any input ?
