Camera Mount

[FJRski_2007]

I’m looking to get a camera mount for 2007 FJR. Which do you recommend? It would be nice if it went over the windshield, so the pictures come out clear. What do you recommend?

No personal experience, but I know somebody with one of these helmet-mounted cameras.

It's about the only way I know to get above the windshield. You could also mount at the base of a mirror, like an aux light.

How would you feel about a camera mount that doubles as a mirror spacer? It's just an idea...

You could mount your camera out front, on what should be a rigid mounting position, and have the added benefit of an improved view of your six.

I did a mount on a slider. You just have to be carefull of how low you take a corner. I started to grind my mount. But it made for some cool shots!

I just want to add that I am talking about mounting a digital camera.

The way I'd do it would be to make the mount out of 1/8th-inch aluminum under the left mirror base. Make sure to use some vibration damping foam.

To follow the progress on that project: Click

The Plan:

1.) Figure out a spacer that will work

2.) Integrate an auxiliary light mount

3.) Integrate a camera mount

Gotta link? I'd like to see those!

My understanding is that camera mounts are universal. Every tripod uses the same concept, a 1/4-20 screw that draws the camera down onto a plate. I'm not a professional photographer, so I could be wrong. Someone want to verify or debunk that claim?

PM sent on spacer added to my Ducati to mount the PIAA lights.

This is what I use with a standard arm (you may want a longer one)

then use this ball with this triple tree nut for the base.

Works great!!

I used a tank mount that bolts to the gas cap flange. Here is a slide show taken through the windshield. napa ride slide show

I like the triple tree mount, but I was thinking of using the unused mirror hole on the left handle bar. Has anyone else done this? I cant seem to find any ball type mount that will work with the unused hole. RAM seems to want to use a clamp on type ball mount. Any ideas on the mirror hole?
