Making videos.

[danieljardim]

Hey guys, I just realized I have a sony cybershots sitting around (since my pictures are all taken with my phone now) and I thinking in using it to shoot some videos while I save some money for a gopro.

so looking online for some brackets I stambled across those options

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Handlebar Camera Video Mount for Sony CyberShot HX5V | eBay

SUCTION CUP WINDOW MOUNT*4*FLIP HD+SLR+SONY CYBERSHOT | eBay

Magnet Mount Magnetic Grip*4*FLIP HD+SLR+SONY CYBERSHOT | eBay

So what should I get it?

Any other recommendations that won't brake my wallet?

 

[CrazyCawi]

none of those look effective

I think you should go with:

RAM-B-149ZA, RAP-319 and RAM-B-237

or you could do this setup

That first handlebar mounts looks good.

Remember, a good clamp to hold her steady and keep the vertical extension as LOW as possible. The vibrations from the road combined with weight at the end of a long extension = shaky.
Try this...extend your arm to the side straight out and try to hold a 5 gallon bucket full of water or sand...hard? Now pull your arm in closer to your body..easier?
Same for any cam mount. The problem is that you need to get the cam above the windshield if you use a bar mount and that requires height.

You also can use this attached to the windshield. I bought one and cut the vertical tube as short as possible to eliminate cam shake and pressure on the ball joints. The connectors touch with zero extension tube showing on mine.

You can suction cup this to your fairing too for a different view.

I also safety wire my suction cup mounts by tying some nylon cord to it and the bike in case it falls off. Running dual cams and mount gear at almost $800.00 is best if not dropped onto the pavement at 60 mph...LOL

How about a swingarm mount too

Well, I bought this one. eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

It's cheap, for 8 bucks is worth the shot. I would never use this on a gopro but since is a (6 year old camera - I did pay $450.00 on it) I will try around the block I'll post a video and let you guys know.

Are you shooting videos of yourself?
I don't think that is tall enough to see over the windscreen.
You will have windscreen distortion if you shoot through it.

It does look strong enough tho...

If you really don't want to break the wallet and are a bit creative you can do something like M13's setup.

* I'm also not suggesting you modify a junk helmet or anything, its up to you.

My camera is only 5mp. So I dont think quality will be one of my concerns. :thumbup:

That's the still picture quality...Shooting video is another story.
It could be Full HD 1080/60p video or less depending on the model.

I don't think it has HD video. It is a cybershots 6 years old. I'll try and see how it goes.

Got a model number....the info is at your fingertips.
