Here is a link to a video shot with the handlebar mount.
The handlebar mount is VERY good ,you will however notice a slight vibration in the video when attached to the handlebar, if you are moving quickly you will barley see it.
It comes with 2 rubber mounts, 1 for skinny bars, 1 for wide bars, On a motorbike bar i was surprised on how tight i had to put the clamp, i could go 1/2X bigger if i needed.
Make sure you have something that is static in your shot otherwise you will become nacious watching the video with all the handlebar movement.
Watch a sample here of handlebar mount.

Something I noticed is that it actually comes with Three rubber mounts. The one that is in there already is removable and a different size then the other two. So there's lots of size variations if you mix and match all three.
Also, this mount can be used for other things as well. I use it to mount the camera to a paintball gun.
If I had $20 for each thing I want to mount this to... Oh yeah, I don't! I like the leggo like super velcro that requires a crowbar to separate, because the vibration of things is not isolated with the fuzzy type velcro... but rubber bands or zip ties help. The prob with super velcro is the glue is weaker than the velcro in warmer temps! I took the surface mount and just put velcro on it and velcro on a niterider lighting system handlebar mount, my bike frame, the end of a boom, and on a seatpost mount... werx gud, and wit a sea of bike parts and scrap metal, who needs to spend money on anything but velcro?

I just got my free goggle mount for my top5 video, it is built VERY well!!
It attaches by taking off the Rail circle mount, slipping the strap under the mounts (they stay secured by 4 spikes) so it will not slide back & forth, you then place the rail circle mount back on on the angle you wish.
the foam backing ensuers it does not pull on your strap & stays in place.
Nice feature is that you cannot pry the camera off easy from front to back (tree heats be gone!) It has to go from the bottom up (which I think is how all mounts should be)
20$ is a small price to pay for having your VholdR in guaranteed awesome angles & secure mounts.
My next task is a rollcage mount for my forks, thinking of modifying a flat surface mount for that (wood/foam block?)
Try drilling four holes where the interior velcro is on the standard flat surface mount and then sliding two zip ties through. That should be a pretty good make-shift roll-bar mount.
