I have several Garmin Virb cameras and usually use these when doing video while riding as they provide GPS and other ride data, but over the holidays I found a deal on a GoPro Session and due to the size and price I decided to buy one. Finally got around to mounting it this week and went on a long ride Sunday. Mounted it right up front on windscreen for unobstructed view of road as my other cameras are usually on helmet, handlebars or topbox with some obstructions. Was a little hesitant about stick-on mount as I usually use a RAM mount, but so far it seems to be holding well and solid. Battery lasted about 2 hours so I discovered it shut off before end of ride. Nice thing about the Garmin Virb (old model) is that you can power from bike or external battery via USB cable.
