Was dick'n around with an idea for a new mount location the other day and came up with this. Used the stock fender bolts, added a few spacers on the top. A few pic's of the mount and a short ride clip below... actually I kinda think it turned out ok.

That's a really nice setup. I don't have a gopro but i'm sure this setup would work with many different cameras.
I'm surprised that the video wasn't jumpy since the only thing smoothing out the bumps was the camera mount and the tire. Well done.

A good camera handles that. :)
Very acceptable vid quality. Nice job!

That was my concern also, but seeing how I only have an hour or so and zero cost into it and figured that if it didn't work, oh well. The vid clip is on a fairly smooth road, but still not without bumps. It did do pretty well, better that I would have thought. Now, if I can just figure out why the sound was so crappy.
Nice mount location.
Nice video.
I'll have to try that on my Gopro.
Very creative one.
Just curious as the cam was set up side down then how you have the normal video output?
The camera can handle itself or you need to have a video edit software to rotate the video?

The GoPro camera has this functionality built in so no additional editing is required.
