After seeing your videos, Frank, I did get a chest harness for the camera but felt I preferred to have a clearer view. https://youtu.be/BkwDcSbAz2E
With the screen fitted, though, that wasn't straightforward (nothing ever seems to be...) as there were reflections from the speedometer and tripper. I also had to make my own camera mount platform. But all seems to work well now.
Here's how the camera fits

Golden syrup tins, being wider, are more effective

Classic C5 Euro 4 at the moment.
Also CBf250.

Oh if I'd only known...

Here's my final offering for the month (hurrah) as my data allowance is nearly done until a new contract begins giving me oodles more.
The camera is the Akaso Brave 7le, Frank. It was your mention of the new Brave 8 got me thinking... https://youtu.be/04wtijfxZLw

I think the laid back riding position of the Meteor probably means that your chest harness is giving a lower angle of view that my more upright stance gives.

The sound on your video with the chest harness is great, but when you have the camera mounted on the bike, it is, to put it bluntly, blood awful!
How about a chin mounted camera a la Noraly

Yes I agree the sound is dreadful. I don't think the sticky pad would adhere to my beard...
I did try mounting it on my peak but watching the film after made me giddy as I seem to turn my head rather a lot. No, we'll stick with where it is but work on the sound a bit (a lot!). Or dispense with it altogether and edit in appropriate music perhaps.
Is your Himalayan on order for a Spring arrival?

I used a curved base stick on mount designed for a crash helmet but stuck it on the headlight instead. It mounts in front of the wind screen. The only problem is keeping dirt off the lens, or rather the case in front of the lens.
