Default camera mounts

Anybody got any suggestions for an inexpensive mount to use on an EGC? Looking to mount either a mini DV camcorder, or a still shot digital cam...........possibly one with a clamp for the bars, or one that fits the empty mirror hole? (fairing mounted mirrors.) Thanks!

I use a Rhino mount on my handlebars i got from: http://www.cyclegadgets.com/


Only issue you will face is the vibration, especially when shooting video. The electronic stabilization on the camcorder helps, but is still there. If i had to do it over again, I might look at one of the sport camcorders that have a separatesmall camera that hooks via a wire to the recorder, allowing you to mount the small camera in a less vibration prone area of the bike.

Yup..there is one poster on HDForums that has tried 1/2 a dozen different mounts.....he says best one so far was a piece of foam rubber and duct tape to mount the digital video camera on top of the front fender.
