Bike Mount for Std Digital Camera
Hi there,

Does anyone manufacture a mount to fix my panasonic digital camera to my bike handle bars or fuel tank fixing bolts?

Or how much do those digital bullet style camera/videos and a mount for one of those cost?

Ideally i'd like one which can take stills as well as video, and is wireless/battery powered and uses an SD card.

Oh i ride an Aprilia Shiver so it would need to be a generic one as theres nothing specific made for them yet!!

Cheers
Ian

Never used them, but you get the idea of the product landscape.

I got a little plastic folding tripod that had a velcro strap attachment which you could mount to handlebars/mirrors etc. Bought it in jessops for a few quid. Can't remember the brand I'm afraid.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
