    Hey Guys,

    I came across the RAM mounting system by chance and decided to give it a try... works good so far! (I'm not affiliated with them, nor am I paid by them).

    http://www.rammount.com/Products/CameraMounts/GoProCameraMountKits/tabid/4700/Default.aspx

    I posted a video the other day and someone asked me to post pictures of the setup... I enjoy making YouTube vids, so I made this instead.

    Hopefully someone out there will benefit from it and come up with more ideas!

    Enjoy!

    I have a 1st gen Go Pro that I reluctantly planned on selling since upgrading to the latest model, but maybe one of these mounts will give me a fresh angle to justify keeping it around. I'm surprised by how the mount makes no noise since the handlebar mount had the tendency to cause some unwanted 'sound effects'. Really smooth slo-mo @ 6:00

    Thanks for making this video.

    Here's a vid I shot a few years back (before I had a GoPro)... with a home made 'scorpion' mount. It was my 'concept' and I never really got around to making something that was easier to carry and use on the trail. Maybe that will be my next project! [​IMG]
