I got my GoPro wide today, gonna test it tomorrow. I used a lanyard from a small video camera I have, looped one end thru the plastic closure of the GoPro, and looped the other end through my handlepole limiting strap. That way, even if the mount and plastic bracket fail, the camera isn't going anywhere but dangle from my handlepole.

I took the setup out yesterday and threw together a video:
not a single problem. Torqued the screw in real tight, and the camera didn't move once. I was real happy with the video! Compared to the standard lens GoPro, this wide angle one makes it easy to get the perfect shot. Good investment- if you buy one, don't buy it direct from GoPro (it's like close to $200)..buy it off Ebay- there's a couple sellers there offering it for $136 with FREE shipping. It's the same package with all the mounts that you would get from GoPro direct.
