$5 Motorcycle Camera Mount

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 - General, Motorcycling - No Comments

Following up on my previous adventures in motorcycle mounted video cameras I’ve taken Surrender1224 ’s advice and tried the $5 Motorcycle Camera Mount as seen on instructables.

Shot from my first test ride. Mmm, cookies.

Not a bad little AVCHD camera. Pop a cheap Cokin Wide-Angle Lens on it and you’re good to go.

This setup is not without its own unique challenges to overcome.

Notice how shaky it gets at 55 mph. This may be due to the unbalancedness of the camera — especially with the wide-angle lens attachment. I doubt I’ll be able to stabilize this video with vReveal. I’ll try again with a light compact digital still camera in movie mode.
