Scotlad borrows his buddys one and he says its brill. 90 qui from demon thieves thou.

But no vibration on the camera even in a bec.

Think the home made ones would have to over come the problem. Some one on this forum does cameras and mounts.....

I read some where a biker got stopped and was charged for speeding on the evidence gathered on his camcorder hours before...(read it onTop Gear perhaps)..Oh and the Jap with the Countach that sold a DVD with in car footage of Very high speed on public roads and was charged on that evidence in his home made movie.


mmmmm

I reckon you could knock something up using a couple of exhaust mounting brackets around the rollbar with a plate on top and a screw to go into the camera's tripod hole. I don't know whether you could use some rubber sheet as insulation in between to isolate the vibration, this would no doubt be the biggest problem.

I'm gonna have a go at it when I'm home next (could be weeks), I'll let you know how I get on

Just to get you excited about what you can do with such a camera, try this :

i dont think vibration is a major issue as most modern cameras have a anti-shake/vibration damper built in for those shaky hand moments
