Re: Camera Mount

Well, I kept meaning to order the camera mount that bolts on, like the one Conq had and sold to Flasher2001. Only problem with this is, I am a slacker and didn't order it.

I have seen a suggestion (on the old forums I think, can't find it) on how to make your own. I am not completely down with this, but I really would like to have video from the trip and homemade is better than nothing.

Any suggestions welcome.

Re: Camera Mount

I've got the RAM mount one... works better as a GPS mount, the video camera tends to be shakey when shooting video. *My digital camera can shoot video with less shake due to less weight... *Conq I think mentioned he had tried the RAM with a lipstick and that seemed to work... *

I would like a lipstick camera so I may move that way.

Re: Camera Mount

Thanks for the offer RedTalon.

I didn't express that I waited way too long. There isn't time for me to order something and for it to be shipped.

It is ok, last night I made a trip to Home Depot and fabricated a bracket. It isn't the best, but it is crazy sturdy. I also bought some Industrial Strength Velcro to wrap around the mount to make sure the camera doesn't go anywhere.

Thanks again guys.

Would you post some pictures for us? *I'm interested in seeing how people are mounting their cameras.

Thanks

Re: Camera Mount

Why not just get a mini camera that plugs into the main camer aunit, mount it on the tank with a single screw into the fuel tank cap, and that way you can keep the real video camera safe in the boot?

I'll try and take a photo og what I mean, would make more sense than my words I think..
