RE: Need help with mounting a camera

To get a rear view I mounted mine to the grab rail using a ram mount.

Thanks for the comment. I should have clarified, back then girlfriend, now wife.

It might be a little too mushy for a HD forum, but here's how I asked her to marry me (and yes, there is video and pictures of motorcycling in it. While the camera was mounted to the handlebars I just turned it around to face us.)

This is a link to a couple of videos I made with my camcorder mounted on my handlebars for some shots.

Those videos are fantastic!!!!
I've added music to photo's using Window's movie maker for a acceptable result. Who's software are you using to mesh the videos and songs together?
Thanks,
JU

Thanks for the comment. The first one I believe I used Window's Movie Maker, but can't remember for sure. The others were made using a software called Ulead. Far more versitile than Movie Maker.

RE: Need help with mounting a camera

I have the same camera I bought from a forum member. I plan on making a flat bar mount,
about 2" wide by 4" long, 1/4" thick with a 5/16" hole in the end, that will bolt up to the front brake line manifold that's mounted between the forks on the lower triple tree. I'm going to use epoxy to secure the camera quick release mounting bracket to the aluminum bar. I plan on removing the 5/16" screw and replacing it with a set screw and an acorn nut. This way, you could remove the camera mounting bracket if you wanted to, and replace the acorn nut, which holds the brake manifold securly, which would still retain clean looks.
Undo the acorn nut, mount the bar between the forks and you now have a secure camera mount which is centered to the bike, and it won't interfer in your line of sight. When you get to the campsite or motel, you can remove the camera and the mount would stay on the bike.

RE: Need help with mounting a camera

I bet you can find a larger adapter etc. for your crash bar size.. Probably from the same mfg as your existing mount. (or -reseller etc.)

I had a similar problem looking for a handlebar mount to fit my Pioneer Avic GPS.. BUT FOUND IT..!!
