Made a CAMERA rig...

[MINIGfather]

Well since I cant really afford the sports cameras that some people use to record them riding I went ahead and made my own. I had a camera that I got for FREE from Staples where I work. Me and the wife got another digital camera so I figured I would use the free camera since it has a video cam setting. I had an extra visor laying around so I used that to mount my camera to. Heres what I ended up with. There is also a little vid but it was getting dark so its kinda hard to see. Check back after this weekend cuz Im gonna be able to use it during the day.

hopefully you dont snag a branch haha.
id mount that on the handbars or something then you can turn it on and off easier

 

[MINIGfather]

Yeah thats my 01 Warrior.

I was gonna mount it to the handle bars but that makes for a very bouncy picture. There really arent too many branches that will snag the camera. The mount is actually a mini tri-pod that I took the legs off of. So it should be ok. Atleast I hope so. (knocks on wood)LOL

thought so and you might want to add some support if you jump or ride hard tho

Your rig looks good man not to bad for home made

 

[MINIGfather]

The visor has support. It has another screw under it right below the camera. So its not gonna flop down or anything.

i was thinking of using one of those wallmart "gorilla pod" flexible tripods they sell for $18 it is made to wrap around stuff to hold the cam so i was thinking of wraping it around either the bumper or handlebars.

I looked at that too. The only thing with mounting them to handle bars and stuff is that it makes for a real shakey image. I dunno bout anyone else but ive watched some shakey vids and it starts to give me a headache.
