You may have to clean off the lens more often, but if you do, it's much easier to clean the one square inch of a GoPro lens cover than it is to keep a much larger area of the windshield spotless, if you were to mount the camera behind that. The problem here is that you often get reflections off the windshield also, if the windshield is tinted, you lose brightness.Īnd so, I generally settle on a front-of-the-windshield, suction-cup-based, mount. And I've experimented with this location, with both suction-cup and crossbar mounts. Getting back to a more prosaic location, if you mount the camera on the rider's side of the windshield, you have the advantage of protecting the camera's lens from road debris and errant bugs. It's an interesting perspective for occasional use, for a change of pace, but I wouldn't want to record a few hours of a travelogue-like video that way. Here's a video made with that mounting setup: If you do mount the camera on a bike, where exactly do you put it? Some possibilities:įor instance, in the 'someplace else' category, for a few rides back in 2013, I mounted my first action camera (a Liquid Image Ego 727) low, on the left side crash bar of a Victory bagger.Īs with this and all subsequent pictures on this page, click on the image to enlarge it, and then press Escape or Enter or click the 'X' (which appears if you hover your mouse over it) to close the enlargement: Further, when watching videos taken via helmet-mounted cameras, I often feel like I'm getting whiplash, as the videographer turns his or her head off to the side and back. Nevertheless, I prefer a more bike-centric video, one that captures the direction and view traveled, and leans with the bike. Those are valid concerns, and there are probably other advantages. And you can turn your head, to capture views off to the side, which would not be in the field of view of a camera pointed straight ahead. It has the rider as a built-in shock absorber, for potentially smoother videos. And, once adjusted, the camera should stay put, and no further adjustments should be necessary, even after removing and reattaching the camera.īefore you send me an irate email, telling me that you prefer a camera mounted elsewhere - say, on a helmet - let me note that I'm aware of such alternatives.Ī helmet-mounted camera has several advantages. Also, that wired connection must be weather-resistant. This means, for instance, that I have an external power source, instead of swapping out batteries during the day. Not have to worry about rain during the ride.
