This is my motorcycle ride video tips #9. Make your own GoPro pole mount and examples of it’s use.
The regular pole mount and DIY GoPro pole mount.
Because the Go Pro camera has such a wide angle lens, the stick mount is perfect for personal water shots, motorcycling, snow, dirt, ect.. The Hero 3 Black Edition is the latest and top of the line action camera that GoPro offers. This is personally my first GoPro purchase and I can say I am very happy with what it allows me to do.
I will tell you that I fully recommend the top of the line gopro for anyone who is interested in its amazing features. But I can not stress enough, if you are not a video editor or you do not know a video editor you may be a little upset with the results. In my opinion the footage you capture is only as good as the editor who is cutting it. Without editing, your footage is nothing more then a couple of action scenes with a ton of not so useful footage.
I took a bicycle handle post and installed 2 wheel bearings in it – then I slid a long 12mm Dia. Bolt Through the bearings and used and L-Angle piece of sheet metal I found and attached that to said bolt – the camera is the counter weight and the horizontal is stabilized but the elevation does change – so when I lean left or right the camera stays completely horizontal and only changes elevation with my bike – It’s a kick ass angle.
Thanks for the info!
I’m saving to get Hero Black for next season. You’ve given me many ideas . . . Good Job
