The motor sports edition comes with a suction cup mount, and some of the adhesive mounts (IIRC), that's the one that I got.

The motorsports kit also has the vertical mount buckle (the part the camera case attaches to, that snaps into the different mounts. It's needed to mount the camera vertically, like on the chest strap (but I think the chest strap comes with one too).

Not sure if I'd trust that head band mount anyway. I'm pretty sure I bought the other helmet mount (they're not expensive), but I don't think I've used it.

i talked to a kid on the lift @ sundown who was rockin' the head band. he only used it because the sticky mount broke. he said it resulted in some shaky video due to the play in the straps. i'm mostly interested in the strap that goes through the vents of the helmet. i don't like the idea of a permanent sticky pad on my pristine white helmet.

I didn't like the idea of the adhesive mount either, but it worked out just fine for me.

Also, with the motorsport version you have the opportunity to take some sweet video of you doing some sick 4 wheeling in the Jeep!
