DIY Camera Mount

This How-To was written by "Diderr"

This is a write up that I will be doing but with a different camera set-up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7tp3-yN7dA so i was messing around and figured out a good idea for a cam mount.

Supply list:

(1)- 1/4"-20-1" screw (most cameras take this thread)

(2-4)- 1/4" washers (depending on screw size)

Tool list:

power drill

17/64 drill bit (again depending on your screw size)

flat or philips head screw driver

adjustable wrench

drill a 17/64 hole in your passenger peg. where the hole goes depends on camera threading position and personal preference. the hole is barley big enough to get the screw through, I did this to insure a tight hold.

insert a washer on the screw, then poke it through the hole, put on a nut, and tighten.

add shims ( left over washers ) so that that your camera sits tight and in your desired position.

thread cam on, all done!!!

Hey whitey... I have read some reviews on that Oregon scientific camera your looking at and they were not that great.. Also, have you put any thought into how to keep the passenger peg from bouncing up and down.. I like the idea, but like I said, I would be a bit concerned with the peg vibrating and bouncing since its not a sold mount point.

C-Net.com is what made my decision to purchase the Canon HV20 HD camcorder this New Years. The editor had it as his 3rd top pick of camcorders.

Flounder.......You make a great point!

I have the Cannon Elura 100.. When I bought it last year, it had just won camera of the year.. Great camera, only problem is, now I dont want to put it on the bike for fear of ruining it.. As we all know,, cameras on bikes tend to become ground magnets or cop magnets....

My HV20 was camera of the year in 2007, so I read. I love it.

But yeah, if you crash, it will be held against you and you WILL get fucked HARDCORE!:eek::postcop:

Doesn't the foot peg have a detent that keeps it from flapping around? I bemlieve the passenger pegs will lock into place.
