Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount

check this out - crappy camera but a brilliant camera mount - gets more interesting about 2 mins or so in - this was my first experiment with it

Which mount have you got Mr Masher?
Dont care much for the square tires you have fitted lol

Ive got the same mini mount. got it 2 months ago off ebay delived for $3. ive got a couple of cheap cam's to play with too.

There's six minutes I'll never get back

No, seriously, that looked great, looking forward to some action shots from the Putty or Oxley, looks like you're close to the beach, nice area.

ITS NOT AS GOOD AS YOURS MASHER

Ive got one of these MD80 mini cam's as well. its good for around 40mins of recording but its hard to line up. so no good videos yet.

that was a bargain [except u ran the film in reverse] - $20 all up for a mount and cam. i never use ebay - maybe i should check it out.

with that mount you can get some really good positions - i was quite impressed with the shot of the front wheel when i stuck it on the side of the engine - didnt come off either [mount that is]. i want to do a bit more experimenting and see where else i can put it - on fairing facing back - or facing back on the engine etc etc- and edit a series of shots together when i see what looks good i will make a HD movie with a decent cam

Mate I reckon replacing the right hand reflector on the fork leg with a flat surface to mount a cam on would be a good spot. I have thought about this for a while and I think I now have the right mount and cam to buy thanks to this thread.

that wouldnt work - the camera would be shaking like buggery

I dont think the fork leg well work 2wheelsagain, to much movememt. Vibration is the big killer of a good shot.

Masher i tried the motor mount. there is less Vibration from the motor then on the tank

i found a handy clip on utube about CMOS Vs CCD Rolling Shutter Effect

Masher inspired

Thanks mate.
I have bought that mount. Should be here this week.
The camera only seems to be 320 X 240 so I'll be looking for something a bit higher resolution than that.
I could use my 1080p HD Canon but wouldnt want to go back to the finance controller and ask for another one

My next one will have the CCD chip not CMOS chip.
Did u watch the utube clip on the CCD chip?
A lot better on bikes, For the vibs. Most of the good brands have CCD.

Yeah I did mate. It makes a big difference. I think my Canon is CCD ........ Tempting

Hey Masher, ya need to make a video like this one.
Its in mph, on the wrong side of some very nice road with a good camera, good clip.

Not bad but the wind noise is still evident.
How much for the camera u got Ian?

Excellentquality camera.
Nice to see another rider who thinks 6th is just for trundling down the highway and works the bike in 4th and 5th.
Sounds like the mic was under the seat.
I'd be happy with that setup although a higher camera and less dash would be better.

$27 delivered. good cheap fun and at the end of the day if it falls off, i don't realy care but if it was $270 .

I've got more clips from my cam's but can't make them public. i need my licence.

Thats awsome for the bucks!

2WA got a suction camera mount in todays mail
Probably wont get the chance to test it out until the weekend
