Gorillapod Camera Mount and a Video of my Ride
A lot of the time when I’m listening to music I’m thinking, this would be a good soundtrack to the bike video I’ve never made… that I’m going to make… any day now.
Seeing the d-i-y camera mount post on Rocbike the other day made me think I should actually dig out my gorilla pod from wherever it was hiding and make a video. I wholeheartedly recommend the d-i-y method, but if you want a slightly more expensive alternative that works out of the box, I recommend the gorilla pod (depending on the size and the size of your camera the stability will vary.) I always tie my camera strap to the handle bars for extra insurance but haven’t had any problems with it coming off… it just jiggles a bit.
I went out and did a loop around the neighboring block with my camera in video mode to test it out. It went pretty well. I did speed it up, compressing the 22 minute ride into less than 3 minutes, so in case you weren’t sure, I’m not actually a bike racing superhero.

I plan to do some video of my commute now that all I have to do is slide the camera into the gorilla pod mount quick release thingy.
