More Cheap

I've wanted to get some film of riding, for no other reason than I want to. They make $200 cameras with stands that attach to your helmut or bike. El Capitan Cheapo sez, no way. Was looking at my camera and it has a 1/4x20 thread on the bottom for a tripod. Hmmmm. I also know that there is a conduit hanger aka 'mini' that is for 1" pipe that has a hole through the bottom of it for attaching it to the wall.

Here is a mini, 1" and 3/4" (and some delishus PB Twix):

Camera, w/ hole:

Mini attached with pieces of leather as shock absorbers in between washers:

Mounted to the bike with foam rubber around bar, squeezed in under the mini. Also note, I took the wrist band from the camera and ran it down the bars - so in the event it came loose, it wouldn't go very far:

First trial run....stills are ok (w/ the clutch in). Video is out. Too much vibration, even with the littlest amount of throttle. Gotta be a way though. I'm close.


Also a quick note...when filling up at the gas station with a jockey shifter that sticks way out, be careful the fill hose doesn't accidentally pop the bike into gear, making you look like a jackass when you try and start it up. Theoretically of course.
