Y'all take a look at this video and give some feedback.

The camera is virb xe, delivered 3 days ago. I'm still learning how to work it. I'm planning to use it on a cross country ride in Sept and want to get adept with it prior.
This video is the camera mount, but I have the hardware to mount on the bars or tank (ram mounts). That means the camera would be looking through the screen. Which view do you like better the handlebar or helmet mount?
The overlays you see in the video come with the Virb XE and and managed via desktop software. You have about 25-30 metrics you can track. The unit has built in GPS and can be synced to the video. I thought that was pretty neat and the top reason I went with the Garmin instead of the Go Pro. I can add braking and acceleration and many more data points but don't want to clutter the dash up.
I'm still shopping for a mic. My plan is to blog while going down the road. To do that I'm gonna need a mic with wind reduction, but a little sound off the motor is good no? I looked at the Sena bluetooth, a quality piece of equipment and sounds really good. It has the ability to connect up to 10 other units for group riding. Price about 225 dollars which is almost as much as the camera. I ride alone so I just need a unit I can speak to, so I'm still looking. I won't rule out the sena just because it sounds so good.
Anyway lemme know what you think.
