Camera mount

Rate this Entry
Well, spent the last few days making a camera mount for the bike. I saw a SLR tank mount for the Triumph on the net somewhere after I sat looking at the bike trying to decide, handlebars or tank and had decided tank. The mount wouldn't have held my camera, a Canon XL2 which is a pretty big camera. I made up a steel mount and used the screws holding the avation type filler cap to mount it. I can still refuel the bike no probs and it works a treat. With the wide angle lense on it I get the guages and the view angles out either side of the fairing so you get to see everything. The camera is about as steady as I've seen and the picture with the Canon is top notch.
Did a run round the block and was impressed with the footage. Love the view going through the corners....cool!! I'm going to do a ride round the hills one day soon and get some good footage.
One things for sure, it looks bloody impressive on the bike...LOL
