Where do I mount my camera

[odemode]

I've got one of those MD80 cameras on order (£20) but I don't know where I should mount it when it comes.

Had some advice regarding putting on the mudguard using blu-tac and ducking tape, but I'd like it to fit neat. I have a CBR RR-5 so I was thinking of sticking it under the fairing just down from the lights but I'd have to stick it up so gravity would play some part in moving it. I've heard that the 3M Dual Lock stuff is good but is it good enough to stop the camera falling off under vibration pressure?

Any ideas

I found inside the helmet was best. If you have a soldering iron and some lego or similar, you could knock up a bracket for it to mount to in no time at all. I'll attach a photo shortly of what I done.

(Mouted it upside down as the pinlock visor sits right across the lens)

Well, if I was going to mount a camera, I guess I'd mount it from behind...

To hell with brackets gaffer tape is the best it si the most secure way of mounting them I have found


I mounted mine on the TDM here.

Here is an example of the type of shot you get

And this from gaffer tape to your helmet.

This isn't the case with these cameras but you can simply rotate the videos using windows movie maker if you do position it upside down or horizontally.

Got one of these coming too (£12.99 free p+p uk seller) I'm going to just try and shove it in my helmet in front of my nose if I can. Failing that i'll use black gaffa tape and stick it to the chin bar.

Don't bother using the mounting bracket and cross tie it on one of your mirror stalks using cable ties with a some dense foam backing.

Putting it in your helmet will only give you ground footage unless you keep sitting up straight

[defblade]

I made a little tube to slip mine down into, with a cut-out on the back so that the teeth on clip went into the hole and held the camera in.

Then mounted that on a strip of perforated metal bent to fit around my indicator stalk and hold the whole lot upright. So your picture is straight ahead and lowish, banks with the bike.

Would like to fit it to my helmet sometime but never got around to it.

if you want to make your own, the thread on the bottom of cameras is 1/4 UNC

Mine has just arrived. Pretty good thus far impressed with the picture going to spend tomorrow playing with mounting it and filming on my bike.

£12.99 well spent I think.

Link for those of you who wanted it: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180545809595

Took 2 days to arrive after they posted it.

Does not come with an mini-SD card so I shoved one I had hanging around in it.

Oh and the instructions are pure comedy

"Gigantic data cannot be transmitted synchronously"

"Use slim pole to press button for the reset of purposes"

"Please pay attention to protect environment, not to throw the product optionally"

It's also helped by mentioning orange, yellow, red and green lights... I have only 3 lights. 2 are blue 1 is red.
