| GO PRO MOUNTING ON A V TWIN | |
|
GPS units, phones, Ipods, etc. are all relativly easy to mount on a motorcycle with Ram Mount devices. Camera's create a new problem. Mounting AND vibration.
I needed to find a way to mount my GoPro HD video camera to both my Goldwing and my Roadstar and make it fairly simple to switch back and forth. It also had to be pretty solid and minimize vibration.
The Goldwing was pretty simple as I already had a couple of ball mounts on it and it rides smoothly. It worked on the flex finger mount fine, both thru the windshield and around it.
The Roadstar presented more of a challenge, both in places to mount it and vibration. I had tried using the mounts that came wtih the camera on the handlebars and the lower crash bars. Both had incredible vibration, so bad it was nauseating to watch. The vibration on the lower crash bars was bad enough to break the plastic mount and I lost the camera. GoPro was very cool about it and replaced it for me but I wasn't going to mount it again without coming up with something more solid and stable. Searchin thru GPS citys selection I came across the tripod mount. As GoPro had the female side I ordered that and called to order the male side. They led me to the same item in aluminum rather than plastic as well as the handlebar mount and the long arm. While I'm still somewhat leary of the plastic female side from GoPro (paying attention Ram Mount), I'm way happy with the video quality I'm now able to get in spite of the V twin vibration with the mount on the bars, extending beyond the fairing's windshield, and resting against the mirror mount. Just need to come up with a good teathering idea. I can't post video here so you can see how much better it is now so here's a few pics of the mounting of both the camera and my smart phone/GPS/music player. |

| RHINO GOPRO RAM MOUNTS | |
|
I needed to mount my GoPro camera on my Rhino to video my trails rides. I wanted to get the Ram Mounts to mount it with due to the fact that they are the best mounts made and are so versatile! I found everything thing I needed from gpscity to securely mount my camera. I have several different base mounts on my Rhino, so I can move my camera around while on the trail to get video for different angles.
These are the Ram Mount & adapaters I bought from gpscity.
