Superclamp mount

Postby FLSkevin on Wed Apr 29, 2009 10:47 am

I attached one of my GoPro mounts to a photo superclamp and have gotten some good results. If your interested here's a link for the Superclamp....

I put some heavy duty cloth gaffers tape on the inside jaws of the clamp to protect chrome & paint also to absorb some of the vibrations.

Here's a link for a video of some low angle shots with my GoPro clamped to the forward controls and Passenger peg.

Looks better but the larger movements of the entire bike are what is causing the jello wobble, that's why i suggested helmet mounting in the other thread.

These are tests for "B Roll" footage so I have something to cut some short clips in to mix it up a little. The helmet mount is the most stable but if I just edit that I'll be bored stiff after a few minutes.

I'm also making a hard rubber insulator to go between the mounting surfaces and the superclamp jaws to try and absorb some more of the vibrations.

I think the wobble from the passenger peg isn't as bad as I expected because the peg is attached to the rear swing arm and will move with every bump.

But I'm going to try different things and see what I get.
