Personally I wouldn't trust a suction cup!

I've used a digital still camera in video mode, sellotaped to the indicator. However I don't think it liked the vibrations; it corrupted all the video.

[DEN MONKEY]

WTF is that ?? is that one of those suction cap mounted jobbies ??

Not sure I would trust that.
Mounted one on mine a few days ago and it works a treat. ill get a few pics and post em up for you if that thinga mejig doesnt work.

Although if it DOESNT work Im thinking you will no longer have a functional camera to take pics with anyway

There's a decent looking mount on ebay that screws to the petrol cap on the fuel tank, only cheap as well. Keep meaning to get one but there's no point, as i ride like a big girl the video would be pretty uninteresting.

personally, i would suction it down, then gaffa the fuck outta it.

I had one with 3 suction cups at the bottom ended up using bungie cords to tie it down get a bullet cam if your camcorder has an av in.
On a stand they are too obvious to the police and your just handing them evidence if they catch you.

I know you were only trying to show a camera mount but I thought the dragon video was rubbish.

Try this site.

Now that's how to do a video or two.

uh oh , alright men , and those who answer my calls to ride , better shape up your cornering skills (me included) else embarrassing videos may appear after she comes on one of our ride outs! .

You lot seen how the TomTom satnav mounts to the windscreen in a car? I defy you to remove that suction cup off the windscreen without releasing it. If it's any good it will easily hold the camera.

glass is a good thing to put a suction cup on, and in a cage they wont get wind blast either.
