Marty Gets Technical... [laugh] (Contour HD Helmet Camera. Vhold)

[Monstar_100]

G'day Everyone,

Well i hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas...

I was Luck enough to get a HD Helmet Cam... only problem is i don't want to stick it on my helmet! ( might want to have a look at the footage)

Which then poses my next problem, Where the Hell to put it?

i have taken a few photos of the process

Camera    = $470
Paints      = $20
Metal       = $3
Nut & Bolt = Laying about the Shed

Total       = $493



This is What i previously used.


Great view over the bars, was in a really great spot!


Unfortunately the new fella cant be Secured properly.


With alot of sitting about, thinking where the hell will i put this bloody camera...


I though to myself there is a hole there lets use it!


Looked good just holding it there... But how to hold it there!


Small Bracket made.


Painted in a Special Super Stealth Primer.


Then finished with Super Stealth Black.


Then mounted the camera.




For safety i will be using my trusty friends the Zip ties!


A Video will be added once the weather clears up, from what i can see so far with the test videos is that it is super Crisp!

Only Negative- Recorded clips are in .MOV Format... For those who don't know, Windows does not recognize that format unless converted...

Whoa - that's super sneaky stealthy 

What are you doing with the old bracket? Is it for sale?

[Monstar_100]

yeah thinking of selling it... PM me if you interested...

[brimo]

oohhh... the tank bracket, that's a bit scarey, looks like a good way of removing your gonads in an accident.

[Monstar_100]

Brimo, i have seen people with it point the opposite way so they could get the camera back further...

I've previously mounted my video camera on the trelis frame using a U bolt with plastic tubing to protect the frame. It vibrates a bit so video isn't the best. I'm still working on that.

Any ideas on how to protect the lens? I don't want to get bugs all over it like my headlight. Can you buy filters for video cameras like you can with SLR lenses?

[Monstar_100]

not sure about the filters mate, im working on finding whats best for covering the lens to protect it...

i seem to remember reading somewhere about mounting the camera to the frame, i really wanted to find another spot to avoid the vibration... but then this may not be the best spot either...
