Anybody have experience with a Stickypod camera mount?

[Krayy]

Hi all,

Well after seeing Pyrocams footage with his camera, I figure it would be a damn good thing to try myself. Only thing is I don't want to limit myself to just bike footage, as I would like to do car stuff and other stoopid things as well. One of the more interesting mounting systems I've found is the Stickypod ( http://www.stickypod.com/products.htm ).

Has anyone ever tried this mounting system? Good, bad, indifferent?

Ta.

A mate a work was telling me about these, some of the drift guys that he knows use them on their drift cars. Personally, I wouldn't trust my nice new camera on a suction cup mount, imagine what would happen if it un-suctioned.
I'm getting my old man to make me a couple of mounts, one that will screw into the tank filler surround and another that will attach to the subframe and hang out the side of the fairing.

personally.. I wouldn't trust suction cups
Could you sew on the magnets from a cheep tank bag?

What's your fuel filler like? Swanman and I made a mount to fit both our bikes (RIP's R1..) and attaches to 3 of the bolts that screw into the fuel lid. Welcome to show you sometime if you want. Also show you the footage we've taken.

I don't have anywhere to upload stuff really, but I've got some footage of various stuff. One thing I don't mind putting up is a few laps of Taupo on the tank cam..

GP Traders has one for about $150

I will design one similar out of stainless and have BA finish (mirror)

I have thought about something

Those rubber cups?
they should cut out a lot of vibration.
Just a thought.

I looked at a suction type mounting for my camera but just couldn't trust it enough, instead i brought a colour bullet camera, that records onto my video camera which sits tucked away in the tail unit, the bullet camera dosen't get in the way of my riding, unlike a tank mounted jobbie and the bullet cam is pretty tough and can be put anywhere, even helmet mounted on a bike. reckon its the way to go....
