Alright, I am looking into getting a go-pro mount that will work nicely on my 2007 SG. I have seen this one on e-Bay and have wondered if anyone else has it or if y'all have tried anything different for your go-pro's such as handlebar clamp type mounts? I'm basically asking what works for everyone else and if it's worth the money, or if I should look at something different to use.

did u watch the video that guy posts....that mount is no good there is too much vibration. by far the best mount for no vibration is the hogtag collar. i have that one and i also have the rammount. the hogtag collar goes on the uper leg (only down side id you have to use a remote to start and stop the camera0. hogtag also sells a rally package that replaces the battery with a usb that plugs into a car charger so the battery is eliminated.

i have the ram mount on my inner fairing and it sticks up just about where that mount you pictured is. there is much less vibration over the little metal peice you showed but not nearly as good as the hogtag collar. i like the ram mount because i can start and stop the gopro while riding by hitting the button

sorry but i dont have any pics

 

I guess I haven't seen them, I'll have to look. I haven't seen the hog collar ones, I just know that it worries me a little with putting it on the handlebar because it doesn't seem that it would be able to see over the fairing. I'll check them out. Thanks for the reply.

 

neither go on the handlebar, the hogtag collar goes on the front forks . what kind of bike are you mounting to???

 

I am mounting to a 2007 SG. I have the RAM handlebar mount for cell/GPS. I will just buy the Go-Pro attachment from RAM and see how well the video is on that from the handlebar, will also look into hog collar one.

 

i elected not to do the handlebar mount because of the vibration. ram sells an adhesive disc with the 1" ball that you can stick to the top of the inner fairing. the base is flexible so it will conform to the curvature of the fairing.

 

+1 on the HogTag Collar for vibration free riding. Mark is really great to work with and even noticed I had some vibration and gave me tips to remedy the situation. Here is a vid with the HogTag.

 

One thing to keep in mind is to mount it as close to eye level as you can.

Had mine mounted under the headlight got some good picture but if the road has guard rails that's all you will get. If it's mounted closer to eye level then you get what you are seeing.

 

This was on my old bike, but shows a video I took using my Go Pro. I had it mounted on the side of my helmet. The only difference I would do in the next video is swing the camera out a little wider to show less of the side of my helmet.

Check out this video....I use ram mounts...mounted on clutch handle bar side, left side of crash bar and on the luggage rack with a tether. Use something to protect the chrome when you use the ram mounts ( Velcro, electrical tape etc) don't use Gopro mounts on the bike, they will break.
We also use a selfie stick....when using ram mounts use the smallest arm for the camera (1 1/2 inch arm) longer the arm the more moment you will have in the video..if you watch the video on something bigger than a Mobil device you can see the mounts in the video....next thing is good editing software and a computer that can run it...editing soft ware uses a lot of ram..
I am pretty new at this...best thing is to practice....I did a lot of dumb videos before I used it on the bike....playing ping pong, time lapse of it snowing, playing pool etc...
Most of my videos will have a lot of edits and a whole lot of diff camera angles. It all depends on what you are trying to do..and watch a lot of motorcycle videos to give you and idea of what you would like to do with the Gopro.
