Default GoPro Camera

Hey folks,

GF got me a GoPro for the bike (11 SG)...thinking I would like to put it on the engine guard.

Anybody have a way to put this all together?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

That the best place I found to mount mine, it still shakes too much at idle but it'd not too bad.
This what I use, I got it at Best Buy.

I use the Ram Mount stuff w/ the short arm to reduce vibration. Worked well on a long trip out west.
The round plastic disk is drilled and tapped to accept the 1/4 x 20 bolt in the Ram Mount. The GoPro is attach to the disk with the flat adhesive mount that the GoPro comes with.

If you use the 'skeleton case' there are openings in the side that allow the USB cable to be used, thus no worry about battery life.

Wherever you mount it use a tether, I lost mine in Colorado when the plastic mount broke. To top it off the camera dented my front fender on the way down to the road.

Good tip Joe, I forgot to mention that in my post. I always have a short tether on mine. I learned the hard way when a GPS took off in free flight after hitting a monster pot hole.

Plus 1 on the Ram mount for any system. I use a 6 in extention on the Ultra to be able to get around the fairing with my camera.

Mount purchased from Touratech in Seattle.

Here's a quick clip from North Cascades , Hwy 20.

I never use a tether with the RAM mount. just torque it down and fuggettaboutit.

Is there some sort of special software to make those videos? How do you splice together all of the footage and get music to it?
