question

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Sat May 31, 2008 10:49 pm

now, I know I am a very careful red sea pedestrian, but humour me :)

I am thinking laterally, and can anyone see why this would not work

If I was to remove my left hand mirror, and using a bolt with multiple nuts on it to get the thing tightened, I can see no reason why I cannot just bolt my spare camcorder to the bike....

I reckoned by putting it there I could get some nice footage with no possibility of the speedo showing anything naughty... that make sense?

also, if I did do this, would a couple of rubber bushes help with vibration?

am only asking as I am sure some one else must have done it already... I hate to reinvent the wheel


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

is the camcorder tape or disc?


If the latter it won't work and the former will have some nice jiggly pics

old fashioned tape or digital tape? I used my digicam encased in foam on a bracket next to my crashbung and it worked until high revs then went all blocky.Old analog tape will work or i have a straight to memory card recorder now.

mini DV

and I was just thinking aloud - figured it could be amusing to do for a ride to see what it looked like
