The videos get edited so they must do some kind of post-production but you might glean something filming guide about what settings to use and all that. I was thinking of renting a gopro to try out filming a ride, there's a listing on pinkbike for gopro rentals that include a k-edge out-in-front mount but they're in Toronto and I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Fulgaz has a facebook group that's public and you could likely find plenty of sample footage there, or on their preview page though they've been edited to some extend. If you have a facebook login I imagine you could search that group and find all kinds of stuff about people's setups.
Thanks, this is really helpful. That guide looks very thorough, and the sample footage looks promising despite being low resolution samples.

Unfortunately, it's not terribly discreet, but I'm sure you could disguise it to a certain extent by wearing a jacket over the harness or something.
I'm not entirely sure TBH, maybe just to show some possible safe cycling routes through the city. Most people I know are suburbanites who have no perspective of what the city looks and what routes exist on a bike. A few people I've taken on rides were surprised and enjoyed it, and looked into whether they could buy a bike and cycle anywhere safely from their homes, so I think it's worth sharing.
I know a lot of people suggest chest mounted cameras, but 1) I don't want the perspective to include arms, though that might be avoidable, 2) I would personally feel awkward, and 3) I don't want something that might cause a question on pathways, interrupting the ride.
