Trying to find a way to put a GoPro 4 on my ST Limited

[roselover58]

Help!

I just got a GoPro 4, and unless I do the vest, I don't think I can use it on the bike. The handlebars are so wide. Does anyone know of what type of accessory I can use to put the camera on the bar near the wheels? Or near the left hand?


Thanks in advance for helping!

I've been wondering the same thing. The best idea for motorcycles seems to be the helmet mount. That way, viewers see what you see, IMHO.

Using a helmet mount is one of the options. Sometimes I have mine mounted on my chin bar (full face Shoei) , hanging down and have the camera set up to flip the image. Other than the perspective being a little low the videos are what I am looking at, not just in front of the bike. At other times I mount it on the side of the bike, below the windscreen, and the videos show the side of the bike giving some perspective.

I thought about that as well, I just don't want to be that obvious (and I usually leave my helmet on my bike when I run into gas stations and such).

For this past riding season, I too, have struggled where to put my go pro. I tried clipping it on the mirror and wind deflector, but, it shook too much. I ended up sticking it on the side panel that is somewhat parallel on top and is within reach so I can click the button. Not the best place, but, it's the only place I could think of that would not vibrate. I've seen one posted on the dash, but, that's looking through the windshield so not sure if that would work.

Camera shake is a given with GoPro's clip / suction cup arm or the bendy one. The vibrations get magnified using such a long arm. I use the shortest arm that is practical and all but the high frequency vibrations are eliminated.

In this video I have the unit mounted on my lower fairing just under the mirror, using a clip and the right angled swivel mount. Additionally I further secured it with a small bungee cord, visible in the lower right of the frame as a black line.

The video is great! I like the positioning of the camera -- it gives a nice perspective and frames the shot. Very nice.

Not sure how the vibration is, but I'm going to give it a try.

I mount an ION Pro to my helmet. I also mount 2 Garmin Virb's to the front and back. The front one is the Elite so when I start recording, the rear one does also. The Garmin video's show GPS data as well as video. The rear is mounted to the passenger rail with this http://www.rei.com/product/898111/xs...0-camera-mount

The front is mounted to the mirror. See pics.
