Has anyone mounted a drift camera to their blade before and if you have what way did you do it. I have to mount one as I have been asked to record a few sections of local roads for a promotional video.dont really want to use the 3m pads as I am worried about damaging the paint when it comes time to remove it, thanks
I have a Drift HD with the plunger mount: I tried a few places on the fairings but with the plastics being so thin the smallest bump in the road will make the camera judder. The only place I could find was on the flat top of the side fairing (underneath the switchgear) with the camera angled out, forward-facing and flush to the side of the bike. Hard to describe without a picture, though! A lot of people mount theirs on their lid, which may be the optimal solution although I tend to move my head around quite a bit so would depend on your riding style, I think?
The way to get them off a helmet is with a hairdryer and a credit card, with a bit of WD40 to help on its way. This should work on the plastics although be careful with the hairdryer if near decals.
yeah I use the helmet mount but for a road guide I wanted it more stable.I seen them suction mounts but I was worried about them ripping off in high winds.I might have to make some sort of bracket using the fairing mount.pity its upside down forks as I had looked at fitting it on the forks.
The sucker is VERY strong. If the seal is good then once the vacuum is created you'll rip the fairing off before you get the sucker to release.
I have my tax disc attached down there, not sure if yours will be the same but can attach a pic of where if you want?
I'd perhaps aire caution to putting a camera anywhere near where the front end compressed under braking etc, not much clearance Between mud guard and nose come IMO. Top of tank works well for me.
thats why I didnt mount it under the nose, I had one mounted there on the duke but it was one of them slim bullet cams.
Or buy Si or navy's broken mirror and mount there. But I reckon the vid would look good closer to he floor
I put mine in the steering yoke stem hole , you can get a sat nav ball type mounting off ebay , you will need a couple of other mounting pieces to go with it though. They are called ram mounts.
I think mounting it on anything unsprung is going to record too much movement no, Phantom? Do you have crash bungs you can mount it on? I have a light tint to my screen and a friend took photos through it with a iphone and the pics were fine. Didn't seem to pick up the tint to my untrained eye.
I was looking at the crash bungs already but I wouldn't know where to begin Trying to mount it on It.need to check what sort of mounts you can get on ebay.
