where to mount?

[Pol Anorl]

gigidy.

looking for somewhere decent to mount my camera, have one on the topbox facing backwards which is pretty stable but the front I mounted on the bottom of my screen but it vibrates way too much making the videos useless...

any ideas on a good sturdy place to mount my cam?

Errr, fuel tank? You haven't really given us much key information. What bike, what camera, what mounts do you have?

[kramdra]

Side of engine, so it shows front wheel and suspension movement. Also captures engine noise much nicer.

go-pro on the nose fairing, not the clearest but you get the idea.

I'm having the same issues. I've got Drift X170 but nowhere on the front of my Fazer I can mount it. I could possibly affix it to the side of the top-box which gives an interesting viewpoint (sort of like being filmed by a pillion passenger) but really I need a proper mounting system. I don't trust suction cups though, and it may be a cheap camera (£40 refurbished) but I'm not keen on mounting it to the engine crash bars because the lens will get showered with dirt and grit.

My drift is mounted on my crash bars but picks up engine screech as apposed to engine revs. If I mounted it higher I would get a better sound, but I need a longer bolt to hold the bracket on as I don't trust zip ties and Velcro.

when I eventually get a cam it'll be going on the bar I fitted accross the front fairing behind the screen, already has my sat nav on it, it's a very very handy bar and very stable

I was looking at this one here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digital-Camera-Suction-Cup-Mount-Bracket-1-4-Tripod-Camcorder-Drift-Contour-UK-/271347622691?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 which for £5 might be worth a go, but do those suction cups REALLY do the job? At 80mph I can imagine the vibrations causing the whole thing to pop off and go bouncing down the road.

[Skudd]

I keep thinking about mounting the cam on my lid, but not sure if it looks nobbish or not.

If its a camera that can be mounted onto a top pocket, does your jacket have any top pocket you can leave half open and chest mount it?

I put mine on the tank, behind the screen. Just as thats where I felt it was safest (paranoid of it coming off).

I can see the pictures once mounted, but I would like to see the pictures of the mountings.

bikes in sig, issue I have is the screen is worn so not clear at all, the tanks would be a good place to mount it but im pretty sure its lower than the screen by a long way.

divvys front has very few flat places and I hate mounting cameras to my lid.

might try mudguard next.. or maybe a mount on the fork itself.

Why don't one of those engineering student knob-ends who swan up here asking for help with their homework actually make themselves useful and tackle this issue? A camera designed for bikers, by bikers, with genuinely universal mounting would be a serious money maker.

Change of plan, it's £16 but I've bought a bolt-on mount.
