Title: Glee camera location?
Post by: crazyhorse on February 23, 2014, 13:55:02

Hi

Looking to buy a Drift camera to capture the odd trip out, but after having a good look at the Glee's front end to see where to mount it, I am at a loss.

Can anyone who has fitted any camera to a Glee, show me where you have mounted it, to give me a clue!

Regards
Crazyhorse

Have you considered helmet mounting as you will get a lot less vibration.

Hi

I have considered helmet mounting, but would prefer bike mounted, and just after ideas of where to place the bracket.

I now have a drift Hd which will be used when I'm fit enough to ride. Had a hero 2 mounted to various parts of the glee. The bike produces far too many vibes for direct mounting and distorts any recordings by producing waves in the footage .  Helmet mounting is best option.

I use these:

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/sw-motec ... I-DL650-12 (http://www.twistedthrottle.com/sw-motech-auxiliary-light-mount-Suzuki-DL650-12)

for mounting my GoPro camera on. Only problem with vibration is at the 4700 harmonic point. Mounted using a tripod conector that has a rubber washer between it and the SW Motech mount.

And, most importantly, I don't look like a Tellytubbie when I'm off the bike with the helmet on.  :)

I've ordered a twin-RAM ball over-dash GPS / camera mount from RichlandRick at Adventure-Tech. As soon as it arrives I'll get some pics up.

From another site ....

Quite useful I think ...

RAM do a ball mount for the GoPro so will join the 2 together with a short arm so it 'looks' through the AirFlow screen.

Cheers

Drift do shoulder a good shoulder mount harness that I've found to work well on long rides. On trips into London I tend to fix the camera to my lid, this works well at round town speeds, but can create a lot of noise at higher speeds. Using a surfboard mount is another option I've considered
