Title: New Camera Mount Location
Post by: the_Journeyman on March 15, 2014, 01:47:55 PM
New location - Right side fork, bottom of the upper fork tube.  This is a strap mount, and pretty versatile for anything tubular.  What do you think?  Higher? Lower?  Other side?  Give me some input!

Is it parallel to the ground?

Looks good . . .

It's as close to parallel as I can get it by just looking.

ok, looks good, just try getting the nose about 3mm down


edit: did you see the vids I shot of my commute? First one camera was on suction cup stand on tank second with strap on frame . . .

Its not not good...

I tried my gopro mounted down low to the rhs frame slider.... you get to see the front suspension in action....  but I came to the conclusion that I prefer more of a rider's perspective...

RHS is good for me, maybe LHS would work better for you?

I can certainly try LHS, it's easy enough to move.  I have a mount on the trellis on the LHS, that shows the suspension working, it's a pretty good spot. I picked up the strap mount for $5 so I wanted to experiment.  I'm considering a helmet mount, so I can pull up to a scenic spot and take a look around so people can enjoy the sights I see too.
