Thanks, sure I will upload the remaining pics.
Could you please share a few pics of you setup?

Re: Crappy camera and phone mount

Yeah, I've attached two pics of the holder. I'm having trouble uploading from my phone. In addition to the holder, I've also fixed a cigarette lighter socket on my bike. So I can plug in any charger that had a cigarette lighter plug to it.

I think instead of attaching the bolt directly to the camera tripod socket, you can attach it some sort of a bracket which holds the camera in it using some sponge or other soft material. That might help with the vibrations.
I haven't tried it yet, its just a suggestion.

Cheers!

This is a good idea. By extension, it can be used to mount a gps navigation system as well (like, a smartphone probably?), best suited for long rides to the unknown!

I think people with iPhone don't need this thing. :P

I found this thing very useful in Mumbai.

Step4: Heat the rod and remove the marked area slowly which will result in this


Step5: If the Box is large for your camera just fill in the gap with cardboard as shown


Step6: That's it Just cosmetics left.... i made the box and clamp black with insulation tape. if you have old spray paint it will be more subtle...




Step8: Mount the Camera on Your crash Guard.

Bike Camera mount for DigiCams

[MENTION=23793]mod[/MENTION]erators, Not sure which thread to post this onto but i though motorcycle accessories will be apt. Please move it if unsuitable. (thanks)
After seeing so many nice videos on YouTube of people on rides, I always wanted to make videos of my own.
Doing some research i found out that almost all of the videos were taking using GoPro cameras costing about 20,000Rs minimum. I couldnt afford to spend so much on a new camera as i already had a digicam. Nothing fancy, Just the regular point and shoot types starting from about 4,000Rs.
I though why not make something so that i can use the same camera to mount on my bike and get some footage.
After some experimentation, I came up with this design.
Works well and provides descent footage. Vibrations only on rough roads or speed bumps.
The mount bolts onto the fuel tank using existing bolts. The camera then sits on the mount using the standard tripod mounting bolt.You can see the attached images and also a clip from a video i took on a recent ride.

I have designed similar mounts for few other bikes and am also willing to sell them.
Custom requirements are also welcome.
For more details you can contact me through email or simply comment on this post.

Regards,

Vikram
