Bike- Camera mount solutions - How To?

[iwonder]

Yup Kodak Playsport The vibration doesn't seem to be much but i guess a better set up or a mod on this one is needed.

Hey All,

Has anyone seen this camcorder? Nifty!

neat looking n all...
but for a motorcyclist... it would require you to ride without a helmet.

Will be posting a video with clear front visor and pics of the mount tomorrow. Meanwhile, here's another small test video, recorded before the final modification and changing the front visor.

Maybe possible to mount it on an artificial ear on the helmet.

Jokes apart, IMO Looxcie is more easier to mount on the helmet that most other camcorders.

this is an easy way to mount a VidCam.

ZERO vibes.

this is the kinda view u end up with.

how long can it record, is 24hours non stop possible, im guessing an 8gb memory card will b enough for a low quality video but the battery....

damn ! how did i miss this one with continuous updates on fb from ketan...

good to see all the videos here ketan...but its simply not fair ! you havent mentioned anywhere not even once about your mount

By the way even i have been doing some R&D on this since long.I have placed the camera almost at all places and i feel the best place to mount it is the Helmet. The best view and the least number of vibrations.

This is one of the videos i posted on FB about 9months back..

And then Republic day Ride-Amby Valley1

The next one Ketan definitely must not be remembering cause in the entire duration of 5mins of that video he wasnt there for even 5secs !

And then some offroading at Amby Valley

And then i made a mount myself of whatever materials i had and clamped it onto the handlebar..

Unfortunately this is the same video when an a$#&%@%* almost killed me when he came onto the other side of the road while i was testing the same camera mount !

Please excuse me for the pathetic video quality in each video...it was just to test and get a general idea.

Thanks buddy. That mount set me back by Rs. 50/- + Nut bolt charges Glad that you liked it. Though it's not as shake free and clear as a go pro, it's at least usable. Shows the speedo readings correctly. But am afraid it'll become slightly more blur at higher RPMs. Am working on it but have little time at hand as I'll be leaving for Ladakh in next couple of days(Hopefully). You can meet me in Delhi to see the mount itself as we'll be staying in Delhi for a day or two

Got the clear visor fitted just now. Will record another video in the afternoon and post it. Let's see if there's any improvement after the slight modification.

Ketan bro, mind if Ishan shares your mount setup here with us?

If not, Ishan please share the pics and the procedure with us too. It will be nice to know that

[saipranav]

Will try to post a few pics tomorrow
Be careful with your device. Too much vibrations can cause some serious damage to the camera/phone. Is that a Kodak action/sports camera?

Can you please tell ,me the battery life of the camera and the place where you bought that camera?

That's not a special camera my friend. That's an ordinary point and shoot camera. Mount can hold any camera with the standard tripod adapter.

[ketan_r15]

Here's a latest video. This time with a clear front visor. Well it's not as vibe free/shake free as other dedicated sports cameras like Gopro but I can't expect anything more from a Rs. 50 /- Camera mount Still pretty much usable IMO. Best part is I don't have to worry bout the camera/mount falling down as it's very sturdy. Hopefully will use it in Ladakh to capture some of it's beauty in the camera.
