Walking around shooting videos is much different than setting up a camera on a moving vehicle. There are things that you can not do while riding… Focusing and aiming are a couple that come to mind. It took a good deal of experimenting to find locations that would work well. I didn't want dead bugs to accumulate on my lens, but I also didn't want the glare of being behind the windshield either. I finally settled on a mount just inside the front mirror mount on my bike. I used a piece of aluminum and fabricated a mount that would allow me to easily reach the remote lens to turn it off and on, and yet still give the viewer a sense of what the view looks like to the rider. I also played around with various places to mount the main camera unit, so I could turn it off and on, as well as access the camera's menu functions. I made a cross bar that allows me to mount the camera and my Pocket PC, that has my Garmin GPS software.
