I’ve got a desire to record some footage from my TT bike. I have a camera compatible with Go Pro mounts (Shimano CM-1000). The normal forward-facing mounts won’t work because there’s no space to clamp my bars, nor is there space on/under/above the stem or the spacers under the aerobars.
I think the best option would be to mount it under the aerobars, but the mounts I see would have the camera pointed to the side, not the front.
The GoPro Handlebar/Seatpost mount might work (if clipped to the aerobars the camera can face forward), but the knobs that clamp the mount to the bars might stick up pretty high on the aerobars and interfere with my forearms. Also, I find that the GoPro mounts do not produce as clear footage as the K-Edge mounts.
I put my GoPro under my aerobars with normal GoPro mounts.
I tilted the camera up so that I could see it and turn it on, then start the camera. After that I tilted it down to view the road. Afterwards I flipped the video with the GoPro software (or might have been Movie Maker I don’t remember)
I’ll admit I didn’t watch it all since I’m at work right now, but when I saw you first go underground, I thought it was just an overpass. Then I saw you start snaking through all the underground roads & I was thinking “Damn, this looks like a video game!”
Chicago is one of the big cities I have never been to & have always wanted to visit. I know their infrastructure is pretty cool, but I didn’t know there was a series of roads like this.

It comes with a mount to put it on your road handle bars that turns it 90° but I just left that piece out since I had it on my aerobar extension.
I’ve had it on my road bars too mounted above.thanks. That is the one I linked to above. Those clamps don’t interfere with your forearms while in the extensions? They look pretty tall and my extensions are flat. Perhaps the photo is misleading.
You may have a problem with only one side on the mount hitting your arm. You could put a regular hex nut on that side and use the other to tighten with.
