Camera shamera - What does your mount look like?
« on: March 22, 2010, 12:49:17 PM »
I have been trying out my camera mount that I made a few years ago. Used to work pretty good with a heavier tape based analog JVC camera on the mount. Now I get the nasty vibration and liquid look to the video footage with the new HD camera? Maybe it is just my crappy mount? Anyone else have picture of your camera mount?

That's nice, but a little expensive... I went with a ram mount that I also use for my aviation GPS so that it does double duty.

I stole an idea I found somewhere on the web (might have been here actually).

I bought a cheap case and cut a hole in it.  Then I riveted on some long velcro straps and jiust like that you have a helmet cam.  All you have to do is strap it around the "chin" of a full helmet and ride.

The only con is that its a little awkward to start and stop the camera recording because there's no hole for the start button.  If you want to see pics I'll post some later.

My current mount is a plastic bicycle reflector mount that's made for 7/8" bars. 

My previous mount was the left front turn signal.  A longer bolt that fits the camera tripod mount hole is also the exact same thread size as the stock turn signal mounting bolt. 

Both of those mounts work very well and are basically free.

I only use free mounts.

Mine was free to Gordon. My eldest son gave it to me last fathers day.  ;D
