Title: Need source for a GS500F camera mount (for camcorder)
Post by: middlem2 on June 15, 2006, 07:36:11 PM
I have been looking on ebay and cannot find anything specifically for this bike.  I think it would be a great thing, every now and then.

Thanks for the camera link.  As for the helmet cam, I dont want to put one on my helmet, and there really isnt a way to put it on the bike, so I'm going for a tank mount somehow.  Those suction cup ones are funny, no?

they are pritty good, i saw some fottage with one, it dampens the shock from bumps in the road, you can also get ones with springs that work even better. but i can't find where they are now. atleast with the suction cap ones aree good because they are so quick to mount. you dont have to worry about unbolting part of your fuel cap.
send us some footage when you get one
