Video Cameras

[Garnerj031875]

Has anyone found a good way to mount a video cam to the stock F6B? I have one that fits on my helmet but it can get in the way of my head movements. THank you for your feedback.

Never done it myself, but I have seen guys mount them to the crash bars.

Unless you buy a high end camera with image stabilization, you have to be concerned with vibration. Mounting on the frame or fairing seems to be a good choice. I mounted mine on a farkle shelf:

That looks impressive. Thanks.

Sony's action cam, the AS 20 has image stabilization and lists $200, got it for $100 on Black Friday at Best Buy, they're still marked down at Best Buy at $169. The remote for it is also on sale at BB and Sony's website. If you chose this cam, Amazon has an adapter if you want to use Hero's line of full mounts. Haven't shot any vid yet, will let you know. It is much small than the Hero. BB is a good place to get Sony's camera gear, since their prices match Sony's site and they're interest free 6 month finaincing works for me (too well unfortuantly).
As to the original ?, I've seen some handlebar Ram style mounts that have extended brackets that will put it over or around some ws. Sorry I don't have a mfg or part #.

I did this video with a GoPro mounted on the left side of the windshield :yes:

vmaxed I'm sooo jealous. Wish we had roads and scenery like that here. Which windshield do you have?

[vmaxed]

That was a stock 2010 Goldwing windshield.

Any photos of the camera mount?

I mounted my GO pro in the middle of the consol part under the windshield. I added an extender so the camera is just over the windshield ...

[terrydj]

Mate had me a couple
The Go-Pro was junk cause just too hard to use with gloves and no remote :no:
Got me a Drift X170 with a remote and it handles stills and Video not a problem and you can change between stills and Video on the run
I have the camera mounted on the far right hand side of my Farkle dash on a Ram Mount that is lying down normally to use on the handlebars ??
The remote is mounted on top of the Clutch Fluid reservoir with Velcro :icon_cool:

Vmaxed you just can't post something like that without giving us a lead how to get one! (The Windshield Clamp) :wrong:

[vmaxed]

I bought it from a form member on the gl1800riders.com (FIRE UP) he sold it to me for 60$

I have mine on my helmet. With the tinted visor down, it does get in view a bit, but it's nowhere as jerky as when I tried the camera on the bike itself (although at the time, I wasn't on an f6).

Went through an accident that had just happened. You can hear someone's horn stuck on as we rode through. Also a lot of wind noise. I turned the mic down afterwards so it wouldn't be quite as obnoxious. This is a Contour Roam camera.

Looks good but are you sure the front fender won't hit that camera if you ever fully compress the forks. If you'll notice, even that plastic piece under the headlights is contoured to match the front fender. I'm not saying this is definitely a problem but I do have a concern.

I can understand the concern, but it has not been an issue yet, and I have been on some pretty ruff roads just this past weekend. I was more concerned with the camera coming loose as it is just mounted with the double sided sticky tape that comes with the unit.

Not a problem as of yet :icon_mrgreen:

Hopefully, you're OK on that. It would probably take a big hit, something like a pot hole to really find out.

Got the Sony AS 20 with image stabilization, thinking of putting the mount under the right hand mirror where it shouldn't be too obvious, especially when detached. Looks like it offers a pretty good view without the fairing show up. Ram Mounts have a ball adapter for the Go Pro and you can get a Go Pro Adapter Mount off Amazon if you prefer the Sony to the Go Pro and want even more mounting options. You can get some really long extension arms if you want to use a Ram Mount just about anywhere at any height.

Here's what I did, ordered a mount with 1 inch ball from Ram, drilled hole in my Baggershield wind screen then I mounted it to the outside of the shield. the reason I mounted it to the outside is because the way the bars are situated on the F 6 B it would take a very tall arm to get over the shield if you mounted it on the bar.

You can get a water proof case for it that does the job to 16ft says Sony, but they're on sale so,

Course if you go this route you'd probably want their monitor remote. The naked cam claims water resistance, but I wouldn't stick an unprotected lens out there in the wind without the case to protect it. What ever you get think we're all lookin' forward to seeing some road shots from Down Under.

ok here is my first edited video, don't flame me too much. Also I got to get use to not swinging my head so much.

Considering picking up an action camcorder for this summer and especially the Yellowstone trip. Their seems to be a love fest concerning the Hero's but it seems their are a LOT of options out their, will have to start reading and try and make an intelligent decision. Their is even a little camera that you pin to your jacket or vest the takes random photo's through out the day, seams like a fun idea especially at a festival or something.

I already have a Mobius and it works OK but this one that I just ordered should be quite a step up:

http://usa.ioncamera.com/ion/iON-AIR-PRO-Wi-Fi_Lite.html

This camera gets good reviews and I found one on eBay for $60 (almost too good to be true). I also like that it doesn't require an extra housing to make it waterproof. The Mobius, that I already have, is mounted on my Farkle shelf and is programmed to automatically record whenever the ignition is on. My plan is to mount this new iON camera on my helmet and turn it on and off as the situation requires.
