Default My $35 camera handlebar mount (Updated)

I was looking for a camera/camcorder mount for a while, they are really expensive to buy.

Thats a brilliant idea!!!!!
My only concern would be the excess vibration using a video camera.
Screw it, I wanna see footage.

I like it as well. For those that do not want to make it you should look at a company called Ram-Mount. they make mounts for all kinds of things like cameras and GPS units. I have their motorcycle mount for my Garmin Colorado GPS and it works great, and they are in-expensive (36.00 for the GPS mount). Although, I like the Kuryakyn mount looks, and the camera mount paning handle better.

I am going to get into trouble again for ordering more parts......

Oh, forgot.

This would be a cool way to get some low shots if you mount it to your engine guard.(if you have one) I saw an atricle about a guy who bolted a camera mount on a board to his tie down in the front on his car and then used the self time and a lead foot to get up to speed before it took the shot(a remote trigger would be better). The shots were really cool.
