Handycam and Camera Mount

Well, I finally fed up myself from asking friends to tag along and ride, then having to ask them to hold the camera to roll some tape. They never seemed to mind but, OMG, most of the video was trash cause of their body movements on rough terrain.




I now have purchased a camera mount and other devices to bring along when trial riding, to those who enjoy my videos, a smoother and a wide variety of angle shots will now be available for you to enjoy.

Yeah I know but I understand it is difficult to see the big picture when you have such a small screen.

Yeah, I guess I did forget to mention the coast of the camera and it's other accessories,and also the High Def flat screen.

Camcorder with accessories = $5,000

16" Flat Screen $325

Grand Total would be under $6000

That's awesome, looking forward to seeing the vids. I'd imagine the camera view from the passenger side rear tire will be a great shot, but risky with damaging the camera. Are you using a protective case of some sort?

Nope, no protective case, I'll be strapping the camera and the suction cup in the event the suction cup fails. The pictures I posted don't have a safety strap cause I was only taking pictures. But I tested it last night on the windshield, the door and tailgate at about 95 mph on asphalt and I did take the time to add a safety strap to it. Suction cup held pretty good at that rate of speed. This weekend I'll be testing it on rough terrain but at 45 mph top speed.

Well, for those of you who are missing out on the Gorman Meet and Greet thread: https://www.f150online.com/forums/of...oll-again.html here is my first production using only part of my gadgets. Forgot my flat screen and extra tape so I couldn't do much but here is some of it.

Enjoy:
