Guest Spyda Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Just kidding! It's actually a few pieces of electrical tape, but DAMN the movies came out pretty good for a totally ghetto camera mount! The movies came out pretty good, but they're all pretty long so I had to compress the hell out of them for the YouTube post. Check out the movie - not bad for this set up right? Fast forward to 1:20 to get past the straight road. Camera Mount.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vent in the screen is perfect because it gives the camera something to lean against. I rolled up a few strips of electrical tape horizontally and taped it to where the bottom of the camera would sit to prevent it from sliding down. I rode with it like that all day and didn't have any problems - other than that I kept having to download the movies onto my lapsop after each 20 minute's worth of recording! I need me a bigger card!

SEBSPEED Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 If you can't duct it, f--- it! :unsure: I'd be careful on a hot day... that tape's gonna give out at the worst possible moment... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 And after watching it, I'd say your buddy needs to work on his body positioning a little. Looks good though! I really miss those decreasing radius turns, I don't have any in my area, and I love a challenge! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer sirimiri Posted June 9, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted June 9, 2007 I would tape some optical grade haze or skylight filter over that rig, just so as not to pock up the lens. you could even use one of those crap 38mm or 24mm videocam filters, they are probably about 15 bucks at Ritz or something. My 2 cents.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer dutchinterceptor Posted June 9, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted June 9, 2007 I couldn't tell for sure which camera you have but mine(Canon 620) will accept lens adapters. It's threaded so you can stick a 58mm UV filter on the front for protection. Lens Adapter Oh yeah.....video looks good to me. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
