What is the best camera to use for a permanent mount application on an offshore boat ? Looking for durable and small with a decent mounting bracket.

Happy with my GoPro. They now are offering a HD model as well. The Mac software is great for editing etc.

I want to mount a couple of gopro's on bicycle helmets
one facing forward, one back on each.
For bikini girls on roller skates.
On each side of the street.
In Key West.

If you want something that will stand up to the strain, try an ELMO

I think these are the same cameras that Freeze Frame and several of the teams use
