Recently I have been watching these videos you guys are making from your camera mounts and now I want one! What is the best one out there? I want something that will not get in the way too much, is very sturdy, and will allow me to adjust my camcorder to be able to aim it up down left right and so on. Hopefully not spending over $100 unless its absolutely necessary.

camera mount

The best commercially available mount by far. Not the most innexpensive, but definately the best.

 

Ok sweet thats what I was thinking. I'm going to take my longest drive ever tomorrow out to Madison to buy one. lol About 3-4 hours round trip just to buy this damn mount wow I'm a loser!

not a loser... you just want the camera mount. I have this camera mount and love it. What camera do you plan on using with it? I bought a nice Sony for about $800 with 3CCD lens and the works. Had to take it back because the image stability was not up to par. You couldn't see anything. I picked up a JVC for about $300 and love it. $$$$ doesn't always mean better.

 

I have a Sony HC85 that I bought about two years ago. Hopefully the image stabalizer is ok. =/

Hey, I have a mount that I'm going to get ride of. I'll sell it to you for $25+shipping so about $30 total or a little less. It will work on your bike, I had it on my F4i once and I though I would use it alot more, but I guess not. You can get it off of ebay for about $35-$40 but he doesn't give you any hardware and I'll send that too since I had to buy it and won't need it anymore. But if you want it let me know, its not adjustable though and it puts the camera just above the speedo so you can't see that when you watch the vid after, but you can see the top half or so of the tach. I used it with my sony mini-dv and it worked great the one time that I used it LOL.

Why not just buy online instead of driving all that way like the rest of us? Gas is going to cost you almost as much as the mount, LOL.

Well I want to go because it gives me somewhere to ride. hahaha Except I'll have to make sure I do NOT wear my kswiss. When I wear those things I feel so much vibration my feet always freakin hurt or fall asleep. =/ Thanks for the offer Turnin but I think I'm going to go with the sportbikecam since that's what everyone is saying is the best. I'm just one of "those people."

It certainly makes sense when you put it that way! Have a good ride and post some video when you mount it. Yeah, you better buy some riding boots instead of those kicks. There's a lot to choose from out there. I've been riding with Icon super duty 2's that's been great so far.

 

Ok so I just ordered my camera mount from ridersinc.com. $89 shipped so not too bad. The place in madison was just an online store so I couldn't go and pick it up there. =( But now I'm wishing that I had just saved that $90 and put it towards a nice pair of boots or something. Oh well I'll just ask my parents for gear for christmas. hahaha
