I've messed with helmet mounts a few times and I don't really like them on the street. They're high up so you lose a bit of the sense of speed, and because I track with my head you don't see a lot of lean angle either.
That one is just a suction cup on the tank but I've played around with putting that different places too. The chest mount also give a good shot for riding provided you're on a standard.
edit: actually you can kinda see that here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HceGbCvS3as I took some turns one way with the helmet mount with the camera right above my eyeline. When I came back it's attached to a rear side cover. The side cover one is pretty good but if you hang off the bike any real amount you block it. It's up high though so if I can find a way to put it out a bit farther I think it'll work.
I tried a swingarm mount too but I didn't really like the view, and if I stick it out too far I'm worried it'll catch on the ground.
