Member Contributer Knute Posted May 17, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 17, 2012 Was dick'n around with an idea for a new mount location the other day and came up with this. Used the stock fender bolts, added a few spacers on the top. A few pic's of the mount and a short ride clip below... actually I kinda think it turned out ok.

Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 That's a really nice setup. I don't have a gopro but i'm sure this setup would work with many different cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Africord Posted May 17, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm surprised that the video wasn't jumpy since the only thing smoothing out the bumps was the camera mount and the tire. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. That was my concern also, but seeing how I only have an hour or so and zero cost into it and figured that if it didn't work, oh well. The vid clip is on a fairly smooth road, but still not without bumps. It did do pretty well, better that I would have thought. Now, if I can just figure out why the sound was so crappy.

FrankoQ Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Nice mount location. Nice video. I'll have to try that on my Gopro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VietHorse Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Very creative one. Just curious as the cam was set up side down then how you have the normal video output? The camera can handle itself or you need to have a video edit software to rotate the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GoPro camera has this functionality built in so no additional editing is required. Rollin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted May 26, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2012 That is one very nice placement. The thing I like about it is that the wheel points the camera on the road through the whole turn instead of pointing off into the woods on certain sharp turns.

Member Contributer Knute Posted December 1, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 1, 2012 I do like the POV from this mount, so I thought I'd just toss up another clip from this position. I kinda like watching in HD full screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2thdr Posted December 3, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2012 Can you give specifics about what you used? Probably you custom fabbed it? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 Yeah, it was thrown together from odds & ends I had laying around the garage. If you look at the pictures at the beginning of this thread you can see how its put together, shouldn't be to difficult to mimic. Although, with this mount location the camera lens does tend to get dirty quicker that other locations, but I just really like this POV. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger for the GoPro's Wi-Fi BacPac and Remote kit so I can have more control of the camera, particularly starting and stopping recording while on the fly.
