Nice

 

Some other options, this guy makes them locally.... and almost all the photos and videos posted at sites like www.SouthBayRiders.com are shot using his mounts:

Once the coffee cup holder goes on the left bar you'll have perfect balance....at least the bike will

Nicely mounted, but:

 

- do your cameralenses handle vibrations well? I wouldn't risk mine.

- what if you want a picture from a different angle? Always the side of the fairing on the pictures gets boring imo...

- what about flies and rain?

 

Just some things to consider.

Jaap, don't have any doubt about the inventively, originality and hided qualities of Enzo. We know he is kind of guy.

Japp,

 

These are good questions. In fact, I think I'll go to the hardware store and get a heavy rubber washer for isolation on the platform the cameral sits on. That could help.

 

I can swing the cameral around so that you don't see the windscreen, or I can take a pic of myself riding, or a side view, or a back view. Very easy to do. As for rain, the camera can be taken off very quickly even with gloves on. Bugs - well, I can only hope a bug doesn't hit it when the lens is open!!

 

I'm going riding today into the mountains, so I hope to have some pics for you guys tonight.

Jaap, what did I tell you?

Those things all look way over-engineered, look at this baby .....

 

 

Looking to upgrade your camcorder ? .........

I used the same mount for a video camera on my Shovelhead for a project I was shooting for work. I know, it was a Shovel for God's sake, but let me say that vibration kills expensive electronics. The Shovel did it in roughly 2 hours of shooting, my guess is that the Guzzi would take a bit longer, but would do it eventually. I think it's the CCD chip, the interface between the optics and the electronics. I'm now looking for a way to mount a camera to my arm or jacket, the body is a wonderfully absorptive medium.

 

This is what I look like now. Some of you old guys prone to flashbacks probably shouldn't look...

That may be how you look but that is sometimes how I feel. Maybe its not the camera!!
