I just saw a post on the Street Glide forum, 360 degree camera, that's really neat and instead of 2 cameras you only have one. You can move the video while watching it.

This is the camera he was using;

Unfortunately, the reviews don't seem strong for this particular setup:

OP, I hope you have a better experience with it! Keep us posted, please...

Most definitely! A guy in a big black SUV had been riding my *** and tried running me off the road, that's why I bought this setup. As he gunned it around me, in my rear view mirrors I saw a motorcycle cop right behind me.. he saw everything and pulled him over... Instant karma!!

From what I read when researching my own camera set up, I thought mounting a camera to the bike itself, especially a HD, is going to result in shaky video due to vibration from the motorcycle?

I just found this, he mounted a GoPro to his fork.. think that would reduce the vibration? I also need to be sure it clears the headlight for a full view...

I have my two cams body mounted. One cam is clipped to my backpack to records an front view. The other is mounted to a small board via a clamp that sits in the rear pocket of my backpack for rear recording.

To embellish the illusion of speed, mount cameras as low as practical.

Definitely interested to see where you mounted it and how much shaking you get.
