I have only used this camera for skiing on the goggle mount. I really didn't like it. The weight of the camera is too heavy for the goggle strap and the camera bounces around. It is distracting and the footage doesn't turn out great.

I found it only jiggles when wearing a hat, its fine if you use the goggle strap mount and wear a helmet.

I found this to be the case as well - I prefer the goggle mount, but the camera is too heavy for the elastic and it jiggles. I fixed this by cutting up a plastic milk bottle and making a roughly 2-3" square that fits onto the goggles and give the camera extra support. If you are just mounting it on a helmet, it is solid, or at least as solid as your head. Making it into a chest cam actualy works the best for skiing - less movement.
