| Re: camara mount The Sportbikecam mount works great, but I've found that a remote cam, like a helmet cam, can have less tendency to bounce due to its lighter weight. If attached to your helmet it helps even more, as your neck, etc. acts as a natural shock absorber. Certain mounting locations on my bikes have less tendency to vibrate than others. You're right that a twin definitely can cause more vibes than an I-4 (so does my triple). |

| Re: camara mount I don't have one but checked the site and I would assume that the arm being that long would exascerbate the vibration. Maybe soft rubber or poly washers at the mounting points would relieve some of the vibration. On a threadjack note: Check out the "front cam 3" video on the site. Right near the end the guy in front of the cam almost slides the rear out from under himself. You can almost hear his eyes get wide. |

 Just remember Jetb...the camera never lies!  The helmet cams do work well, but it does depend on where you mount them. My footage from the shots taken with it on the rear cowling had a lot more distortion than from the front fairing... | |

| Re: camara mount Mine is mounted on the fairing. When on the road it is helmet mounted (cam in the backpack) the only complaint is I get sun flash sometimes. I think a UV cover will help. |
