How shit!
You ride on the left side of the road!
At first i got skared till I saw cars coming from the right!!!!!
Nice shooting!!!!
I use my girlfriend to shoot with the camera because she can shoot at 180 degrees, but if u ride alone its a very good solution!

I'm starting to obsess about this now. Found an old broken tripod at work & took off the head. Prototype mountings:
Attached File  cam_mount01__2_.jpg   254.33KB   30 downloads
On the fork leg - video nice but very bouncy as poor camera gets all the undamped road vibes!

Attached File  cam_mount01__3_.jpg   218.4KB   33 downloads
Bracket on the radiator stay. Ideal position but lateral wobbliness due to rubber mounting of the radiator.

Attached File  cam_mount_002.jpg   626.04KB   27 downloads
Attached File  cam_mount_004.jpg   600.95KB   39 downloads
So I ended up back to KISS and clamped a metal strip in the handguard mount. Seems fairly sturdy but the camera battery died so I couldn't test it. With any luck I'll get some footage up in the next couple of days.

Ah! Mine doesn't have an audio input so will just have to overdub some funky music in post-production!
Anyhoo the vids are up, for what it's worth..

'Ere's me latest, hot orf the press. Now mounting is on the bars, basically using the handguard fixings. Pretty stable now. Little camera still shakes its head a bit, but without changing cameras, it's the best it's gonna get!

Hi Moose, same as Dave (aircooled68) specified, model number RAM-B-149Z-C1U
Please check here http://cgi.ebay.com/...em=350063660771
Maybe somewhere it is cheaper, but eBay is convenient for me with shipping to Russia.
