Alright, so I made the $5 camera mount from pvc, a machinescrew, etc. I mounted my video camera to it, and rode. Works like a charm, only the video is a little shaky. Any thoughts on how to eliminate shake?

whgat he said ^^^^, anyhoo, got pics of this mount? i can suggest where to put them after i see what this mount looks like :thumb:
when I put a ram mount for a GPS on my bike, the instructions said to mount the arm that holds the device perpendicular to the cylinder plane... it makes a big difference. It transfers more vibes when the arm is on the same plane as the cylinders.

This looks fun!
I made the camera mount above a few weeks back ... I've yet to add any shock absorbant material between the mount and my bars, so vibration is a bit of an issue... Took two small videos from last weekend.

That is my friend in front on a Shadow 750.
Edit: The camera is a simple one, a Sony Cybershot DSC-P72

Yes...

that would look a bit tackey if you asked me. It might look ok it I didnt have a yellow helmet. Oh well I will figure it out and An I will let you know how I did it :thumb:.
I dont think this method would work with clip-on bars. tape a camera to helmet? would work but look cheesy :D
