Camera mounting positions
D6's post reminded me that I trued the camera on Jane's CBR600rr.
I used the sucker mount on the left front side panel. The camera was in the waterproof case.
There was loads of vibration. I've not had a play with the footage yet to see what I can do at the edit stage. I also need to look at camera settings to see if there's an anti wobble feature.
Anyone got any tips on how and where to place a camera to reduce the vibration? The tank is a no-go as it's a black screen.

Re: Camera mounting positions
I think (if its the asame as mine) half of the issue is the waterproof case.
The bit that screws into the bottom of the case then attaches to the mount, is not as solid and tight fitting as the black versions for the camera holders when not using the waterproof case.
I need to retry mine filming without the waterproof case and see what the result is.

Re: Camera mounting positions
I remember you saying that.
I'll try the other cases.
I really need to download the software and see what features are available.

Re: Camera mounting positions
Arent they the ones you mount on the yoke? So wouldn't it be pointing towards my black screen? Plus the damper might be in the way.

Re: Camera mounting positions
The camera I had at Donnington was mounted on the right hand side fairing panel and there is virtually no vibration what so ever. It was mounted with a double sided sticky pad of some sort and then just a slide in mount.
I would try and make sure that there are as fewer mechanical joints between the bike and the camera.

Re: Camera mounting positions
im in the same predicament .... I tried mounting on the mirror but it vibrates too much
I was looking last night and found a mount that replaces a fairing bolt
