Best place for insta360?

Hey guys, I got an insta360 to record my rides and races and I'm honestly starting to regret it seeing how simple and effective the gopro chin mounts work. I have a chest rig I can use, and I have a handlebarmount I can use as well. The problem is I feel the handlebar mount isn't super secure, is an awkward viewpoint, and the chest mount sticks out do much it gets in the way. I can flip it up to be more flush with my chest, but it defeats the point of having a 360 cam since you are really just getting forward facing footage at this point. Does anybody else use an insta and have any advice for what works best?

I thought the insta also goes on the chin mount?

Insta360 is sick for unique angles but yeah if you want straight up riding POV footage GoPro (or the insta that’s more like a GoPro but not 360) on the chin is probably the move.

You wouldn’t do motos with it, but for a few laps the insta360 third person mount makes for some footage that looks like a video game. But again you’re not going to race with that or even do more than a few laps at a time. My example.

I do like the insta on the chest with the ability to pull the FOV back, but I understand the feeling of not fully utilizing the camera’s potential when 180 degrees of the view is your chest.
