GoPro mounting hack - FAIL

I tried shooting with the GoPro while coming down Independence Pass.  The camera was mounted using the hack I had posted about here and here.  Unfortunately, I forget one thing... a band that helps the mount stay in place in the luggage block.  You can see in the video that I had to stop a few times to re-secure the mount, and eventually it fell off the block.  The GoPro case landed in such a way that it really scratched up the lens, so no more video from the rest of the trip.  Here is what I have of the video for your enjoyment / constructive criticism / laughter.

GoPro Luggage Block Test Video

In my previous post, I gave a sneak preview of my hack for the GoPro to mount onto the luggage block.  I was able to go for a ride for a few minutes today and try it out.


What do you think (watch in HD)? I know it's a little shaky... I hope to reduce that with some super glue or epoxy.  What do you think of the perspective?  It should be similar to the video below by another rider (hint: hit mute).



And while I was out, I might as well take a pic or two...

Gopro Hero 2 Front Luggage Carrier Block Mounting Hack - Sneak Preview

I got a Gopro Hero 2 action video camera a couple of weeks before the Brommie, so I've been trying to think of ways to mount the Gopro... which was hard to do without being in possession of the bike.  Now that I've got it in my grubby hands, I took some measurements, looked for something around the house that I could fabricate or hack to fit, and came up with something.

Sneak preview of Gopro mounting hack (Hint: it will involve destroying something).
I want to try it out first and make sure it works well before writing a how-to post.  I'm hoping to do the write up and/or sample video this weekend.  Cheers!
