Chuck81 makes those fork braces that everyone seems to like. Good price too, IIRC $40 or something. If you're going to make one, I'd make it at least 10mm thick.

Do not use a solid mount, all vibartion gets transmitted to the camera makes for jittery video.

Rubber vibration damping mucho better.

i always wanted to record my riding, either for critique or whatnot. or to show some obscure roads and such. it will work. no problem there and with the size of the unit. it wieghs next to nothing :icon_twisted:. maybe altogether 2 pounds camera mount dvr etc
