By the way, how is that assignment coming?
My attitude adjustment assignment is coming along just fine. I'm a lot peppier these days, thank you very much
What??
More on my action cam in case any of you have looked into it as a result of my post:
Ready to roll...
Wide angle Möbius ActionCam HD (C2 lens).
Chopped a 1/4-20 bolt and threaded it on with a bonded sealing washer and nut.
Ready for action.
Do you see that stainless steel 1/4-20 all-thread rod?
DON'T DO THAT!!! That was simply asking for suicide. I was an idiot when I thought of doing this but imagine you fall on the camera side and the asphalt pushes that rod into your skull and temples - skull harakiri. Muy no bueno.
Instead, opt for something less rigid like a plastic or a nylon rod, if you can find it. Hopefully, your neighborhood hardware store would have a plastic/nylon bolt that you can cut the head off and provide you with enough length to fasten all of the hardware and action cam. McMaster-Carr has these (they come in white or black):
http://www.mcmaster.com/#93665A424 A plastic threaded rod would *hopefully* snap off at the point of impact in the event of some accident. I believe that these modifications done in the way that I have shown, and as long as the thread on the plastic bolt holds up well enough, should not compromise the Biltwell Gringo S helmet in either looks or cranial protection. However, I ask that you not submit these images and claims to DOT or SNELL - they'd probably have a fit.
As for the action cam, I'd like to mention that there's an option to purchase a
90° Wide Angle Möbius ActionCam HD (C2 lens) which would allow for vertical orientation of the image. This 90° lens option allows you to mount the camera on its side and playback the full wide angle range. In other words, without the 90°, you would probably want to get something as obtrusive as
this:
While this method works and also provides you with improved adjustment of the camera angle, it also raises the potential for parts to come loose and become a hazard not only to you but to others on the road... Safety first.
