Bike Cam!

[Disco Dan]

I have just bought a cheap video camera to mount on my tank, the mounting was tricky at first as I could not think of what to use...

...then I found it ! perfect!

its the woosh wireless booster antenna window mounting bracket! with really good suckers on the bottom and the perfect size for my little camera!

As you can see from the photos I have just put a bolt on with some washers (rubber on one side) and nuts to secure camera.

Its seems to be at the right hight and the tint in the screen on my bike is one way, so it does not look 'dark'.

Has anyone else done this? How did you mount yours? Im worried the suckers will pop off and i'll lose my camera!!!

I got the idea from watching R6_Kid and his amazing ploystyrene efforts.

I am looking for camera for the same thing as you... What type do you think is a good one to get?

Hey man

If your Camera has an AV input you can get a helmet cam like http://www.bulletcam.com/requirements.htm that but good luck in finding a cheap one you could always use a bit of duct tape to add some reinforcing

I brought a bullet cam from Jaycar, was around $200ish. The beauty is that you can mount it pretty much anywhere just using tape.

Normally I mount it on the fuel filler ring...I just take one of the bolts out and screw the little mount that the cam came with using a slightly long bolt.

Here's a vid where it was taped to the tripple clamp at the recent sprints, I wasn't able to put it in the normal place as I needed to be able to lie on the tank.

THe actual video camera that records to tape is safely stored in the boot.

THe only problem with teh Jaycar one is it doesn't have a mic so there's no sound...until I get around to rigging it up.

Video footage of your exploits is cool.
Top marks to McJim! I just watched your recordings.

May I add, for what it's worth, that it'd be nice to see footage that lacks any close calls with trucks, the wrong side of the road, oncoming cars, including police cars, parked vehicles that may or may not be about to turn across your path or whos occupants may be about to exit said vehicles, or any other potentially harmful objects found on tight twisty roads.
Be safe and keep the movies rolling.
