Default ***Home made camera mount try-out***

Made a camera mount for my Vaxia HF20 and strapped it to my left thigh. Made this footage in my area today; probably the last ride in this 2011 season:

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys!

Took me some time to find out the best way to mount the camera. Started mounting it to my handlebars using a RAM mount but the bike's vibrations are to heavy to get a good result. Therefor I decided to use my body as a platform to mount the camera.

Parts used:
- piece of 160 ID 4 mm PVC pipe
- L-bracket from the hardware store
- bolts & nuts
- 2 straps

The PVC has been shaped to follow the contours of my leg. Slots were drilled for the straps and the upper bolt (to enable vertical camera movement)

Some images:

These are traffic bottlenecks, used to limit traffic speed and the amount of traffic which can proceed downstream from its location.

Traffic flow is regulated using these signs:
