Peek-a-boo Camera Mount

[STX1300man]

Peek-a-boo camera mount, for Drift HD Ghost made from a 'selfie stick', RAM mount ball and RAM mount clamp. I had to get an engineering mate to reinforce the flimsy crimp fitting of the standard camera mount at the bottom of the stick.

Peek-a-boo?  Really?

Problem with long mounts is they tend to shake a lot, be interested to see the on board footage when you get it going.

Yes that was my concern. However, at the height shown it is as steady as a rock. Will load some footage next week (only have footage with other riders in front at the moment).

Err, it's a baby/kid's game here. Just did a Google

How else would you mount it centrally so that there's no fairing/screen in the way?

I've just seen this post.....  you can't be serious in riding that on the road!

I know I've done some daft things, but talk about 'in the way'.....  peek-a-boo - isn't that like, now you see me, now you don't.   does that not block your vision? ok, not of the road ahead - but what about the pothole or something else lying in the road.

I'm not one to be health and safety OTT, but I'm not sure I approve of that mount..... its a bit like those people that put sav nav's above the steering wheel in the car......

Sorry, I'll get of my high horse now....

Does this impair your vision?

What would be the effect of getting hit up the arse by a car.  Wouldn't that metal bar be about head height to smash through your visor as you're thrown forward?

What does your insurance company think about it?

Simple truth is, I wouldn't mount something that looked as stupid as that, on any motorbike that I owned. It just looks ridiculous.   Sorry.

Who cares what it looks like if it's functional? I don't have it on there all the time, only when needed. I use it to follow people and give them a live commentary on their riding which they can then watch at their leisure. As a learning tool it is very useful.

For those concerned about blocked vision ... how tall do you think I am? That's a standard screen at it's lowest setting.

As for safety, it really is a lightweight flimsy bit of kit. Nothing like a hard set of handlebars or sharp piece of broken perspex.
