Where to Mount a GoPro Camera on a Sports Bike
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 гру 2017
- These are some of the GoPro camera mounting positions we use on our sports bike, in this case the BMW S1000RR.
Obviously this won't cover every possibility, but it's a few positions we use that seem to work ok on track.
I've also thrown in a quick look at how we sometimes mount a DJI Osmo gimbal camera. Not my favourite on the bike, but interesting in any case. - Авто та транспорт
This is a phenomenal video! It's exactly what I've been looking for. Very well thought out and put together. Thank you so much for the examples!
cheers mate, hope it stimulated some ideas
Short, simple and effective. Awesome video ! Safe ride
cheers mate, stay upright
Fantastic video - just what I was looking for. Those triple clamp stem mounts look very useful. Cheers!
cheers mate
Great tips man!
Amazing video, very good tips and good amount of examples video to go with them.
Thanks!
cheers mate
So I’m watching the vid (great vid BTW) and I’m thinking, that guy is so familiar.
Have I seen other UA-cam videos?
No, I think I’ve met this guy, but where?
Then it hit me, you taught me CSS1 at Eastern Creek in February and you were AWESOME!!!!!
One of the best days of my life.
I’m on CSS 2 and 3 at Morgan Park on October so hopefully see you there.
haha, yep, thats me mate, come and say hi if I don't get to coach you at MP. I will definitely see you one day in the classroom though.
Excellent video! Thanks for including sample footage!
Cheers mate
Nice video with explanation. Its really helpful.
thanks for watching, cheers
Fantastic video guys….given me some ideas. I’m looking for the remote mount…not seen these before.
cheers mate, have fun with it, let me know if you come up with some new spots
I really love the way how you explain it👍👍❤ Thank you brother 🙏
thanks mate, cheers
Thanks definitely the best vid for ideas to mount cam
cheers mate
Hey! Thanks buddy , got a plenty of ideas to mount cam.
cheers mate, just about to release a new one with some of the mounting positions weve been experimenting with.
Thanks a lot! Very useful review
cheers mate
Very good video and explanation, thank you.
you're welcome mate
superb video, very informative
cheers mate, about to whip up a new one on the topic with some different approaches to camera mounting.
Thanks for the handy tips. Will adapt them to my videos. Cheers.
Cheers mate
Thanks! A lot of points I haven’t considered
cheers mate, glad I showed something new
Great video, I have itching to get footage of 2014 GSXR in action. Something to do over the Christmas break. Cheers from the Riverina.
Haven't ridden the new GSXR, hoping to get a ride soon.
ah just the advice i need , cheers mate,
thanks for watching mate
Great job.
cheers mate
This is perfect especially because I have the same bike lol very helpful 🙏🏽
awesome, and enjoy that great bike mate
Great vid! This definitely provided me some ideas on how I could approach mounting cameras on my S1000RR, especially since I’m new to the GoPro world! Thanks!
Cheers mate
Exactly!
Wow great tips...thanks for sharing nice video 🤗👌
cheers
Nice garden!
:-) ... the missus' has her addictions, mine is bikes lol
enjoyed the video!
Cheers mate
Great vid
Cheers mate, and thanks
Hi mate! Very nice and usefull video for me since I also have an s1000rr.
Could you pls let me know which is the support used for the GoPro remote control? Maybe an link to check it.
Thanks and regards from Argentina.
the remote comes with a small cradle for mounting it. You simply use one of the camera mounts to attach the cradle to the normal stick on camera mount and that's it. Check this out - www.amazon.com/GoPro-Wi-Fi-Remote-Mounting-Kit/dp/B07BW7LC9C/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_421_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=D6W98ZV2J6183AK9VX1D
Hi Stig, I love your video. Question I have is that the Osmo gimble with shock absorber. Can you tell me or show us in closely each part you used?
Thank you in advance.
We continued to try with that Osmo and eventually gave up on it, had problems on big turns on the bike. And none of that stuff is made anymore, DJI went away from it and now have the Osmo Pocket - store.dji.com/product/osmo-pocket?vid=48141 . I'll post something on the 360 degree camera because thats actually a much better way to go I think, the cameras are amazing and work so well now and the effect is the same.
hi mate, its a great video, totaly helpfull. ty and ride safe.😎
Great Video! Now I just need to find some of those HP Pillion foot pegs.
yep, they're pretty good, pillion loves them
Great video after all these years! Still so hard to find a video that shows the straight-forwardness of mounting options like this. I am still curious as I'd like to mount the GoPro the way you did on the side mirrors on my Yamaha R3. Where did you get that 'clamp' mount for the side mirror or is there any alternatives?
I got that mount from GoPro directly, I think it's a handlebar mount or something
Hey, Nice video, what is that handle bar thing on the tank of the bike for?
Also I was looking for a similar option with the gimbal from GoPro but the company says it will not be able to function at high vibrations such as racing etc. Are you sure the DJI one is supposed to work at high vibrations?
Thanks mate. That thing is a pillion grip, we explained how we use it here - ua-cam.com/video/U5OSIy5CvMM/v-deo.html . The DJI Osmo works okay fitted with that little shock absorber, but problem is it's way too big so we never use it on track, we've got a couple of WG Mini (wearable) gimbals we've been experimenting with on track, had some issues but I'll post something about these soon. The gimbal thing is a tough one without a big tech budget.
Great video some good ideas to mount a camera for road use for vlogging
cheers
Thank you very much.
hope it was useful mate
Great video thanks. Can you add link for the slider mount? I can't find one like that.
Checkout the GoPro site, thats where I bought these a few years back. That or you could try Amazon mate.
Good video
thanks mate
I have been going crazy trying to get GoPro video but the vibration ruins it. I looked on DJI website for Osmo shock absorber mount and talked with DJI and they don't have a shock absorber mount but I see you with one. I am confused. Did you build the shock absorber part?
Thanks for the nice video.
I don't have too many issues with GoPro from a vibration perspective provided the mount is super solid .. I really like the RAM mounting system personally. The shock absorber item is an accessory from DJI for their OSMO camera product but I've never used that for anything other than the OSMO.
Tried mounting the cam on the frame slider but seems to be very shakey from vibrations. I'm using a yi cam 4k, should i turn on EIS? I'm gonna try tank mounted next.
The GoPro has stabilisation activated and not a problem. Might be either the camera or the bike itself.
Awesome video..how did I not think of the rear foot peg. Thanks
Took me years to work it out as well :-)
@@TheBikeStig What mounts or ram attachments did you use for the rear foot peg setup?
@@CaptJJRedbeard I've made some changes since this was done. On the 2015/2016 version there is an exhaust mount hole in the right side passenger foot peg bracket. I have a 1" ball ram mount attached with a bolt. Works a treat. I use the ball mount with the hole through it. I am a fan of those ram mounts.
thank you
cheers mate
Thanks.
Can you post a link for the mirror and back peg attachment please!
All I could find was the one I use on the mirror - shop.gopro.com/APAC/mounts/handlebar-seatpost-pole-mount/AGTSM-001.html - the one on the peg is no longer available, I did come up with an alternative so I'll see if it works on this type of peg and post a video if it does
I ride my bike for LOVE and I would like to ask can and how do you mount the unit on the helmet please.
I am a 50 year old biker( I currently only ride roads I know and I would love to mount MY PHONE to use as a sat nav could you suggest a mounting point and device to use)
Your reply and help would truly be appreciated, sir :)
Gidday Karl, There's quite a few ways to mount GoPro type cameras on helmets, they even make a specific helmet mount which places it on the side. I personally like to mount it right in front of my mouth which is easy to do with normal GoPro mounts and connections. Re the phone, the best one I've seen is called a Quad Lock (I think that's correct) which a lot of my riding buddies have. Me, I have a GS with a proper navigation device. On my last adventure bike I fitted a Garmin Zumo navigator but it looks like the phones are suitable these days being waterproof. Hope this helps.
Could I ask about the mount by the footrest facing the muffler and the rear
- Where did you buy it from?
- Is it ok to mount on for long trips?
- Do the bolts loosen at high speed?
I've been looking on the Internet for the ones similar to yours but the vendor doesn't recommend to mount it there for the following reasons I've stated above.
Thanks in advance
I never had a problem with it mate, have left it on for long rides. Since I made this video we made a change over to using RAM mounts. There's a shot of this at 8:20 in this video - ua-cam.com/video/jHiyRzTGCwg/v-deo.html - but eventually we came up with a permanent rear mount - watch this video - ua-cam.com/video/5t8ZJdvWvvUI/v-deo.html - I do use thread lock (Loctite) to make sure it doesn't come undone though. Hope those help mate.
Man I need like 2 more GoPros after watching this
I think I have 4 ... cant have enough of em :)
I just Love the tips!!! Do you have the link of the shock absorver at 6:28??? 🙏✌️
Thats awesome, thanks for the comment. I don't think they actually make that device anymore. Might be able to get a second hand one I guess, but I'd recommend a 360 degree camera now rather than the Osmo. Those things are way more versatile and really stable and you can edit the video like its on a gimbal. I've been using the Fusion but there are better ones now. I made another GoPro mounting video you can watch that shows you what I mean. Check that one out.
@@TheBikeStig Thanks for the tips friend. I allready have the gimbal and a hero 7 black, that's why this device cams my attention... Very interesting...
I just checked out the GoPro Max, looks like I need one of those
Have any links for the various gopro mounts shown in this video?
I think most of these are available from GoPro, though these days I simply buy what I need through Amazon ... so many options are around now.
what mount u use for the frame slider??
I bought a genuine GoPro tube mount but they don't make them anymore. You can get a - Large Tube Mount (Roll Bars + Pipes + More) - directly from GoPro which might be the go.
Hi, great video! I just bought a camera and have been experimenting with it. Vibration has been the main issue. I take it the ram mounts have been useful for you in that regard?
It has helped, though it still matters where its mounted. A nice solid mounting point is the first priority as vibration will still go through a ram mount especially if the connector is the longer version (there's 2 different lengths).
The Bike Stig Cool, thanks for the info! I'll try out some different mounting spots.
Hello
Good video for mounting options
I did find all the parts from ur video but i can’t find the remote mount on adapter. All i see is tube mount. Will you please share a links for remote mount only. Thank you much appreciated.
Hey Vilkesh, are you talking about that mount that is fitted to the pillion grip on the tank?
@@TheBikeStig no but finally i find that Go pro mounting kit by go pro.
@@TheBikeStig thank u for ur reply.
Hey mate, how did you manage to attach the smart remotes to the motorbike? I cant seem to find an adapter anywhere!
I've changed how I do it these days, I've been using the strap and depending on the bike I am riding it can be on the handle bar (GS and Motard), brake master cylinder (RR). The newer models only come with a strap now anyway.
Doesnt that gimbal setup get in the way of the rider moving around on the bike? Like for example, when tucking in.
yeah it would, this was recorded before we had access to 360 cameras and smaller stabilisation options, and was a bit of an experiment. I am making a new video which shows what we are doing now with mounting and using 360 degree cameras ... stay tuned mate.
Where can i buy the seat stem mount for the mirror?
I bought mine directly from GoPro a few years ago, I'd be checking there first.
What is the orange accessory used on the tail?
I think you might be referring to the metal GoPro base which is screwed to the rear cowl. It's an eBay purchase rather than the stick on version from GoPro.
Why do you have the tape on your tank with the writing? What info do you have there? Thanks
That's notes we take when coaching students with the California Superbike School ... prompts for our student debriefings.
the mount at the 5:40 where could i find that exact mount pls and thank you
I know I bought it at some camera show but it's not a genuine GoPro product. I just searched on eBay for - dual gopro camera mount bracket - and there are a lot of options available. Hope that helps mate.
What’s that giant tank hook for?
you might be talking about the pillion grip which mounts via the fuel cap
Wow nice video sir 👍
Someday I will apply it to my motovlogging 👌 Nice tutorials
Keep safe always 🙏 godblessed
AsgelTV here 👌
you too mate
@@TheBikeStig wow.thanku keep safe 🙏
Where did you get that back pad for your tail section? I can’t find one anywhere or even know what to call it!
If you mean the cover on top of the rear tail where the seat normally goes, I think it's called a Rear Seat Cowl Cover, it simply replaces the seat. They're a BMW factory option and there's a heap of them on eBay and Amazon.
@@TheBikeStig I’m not talking about the rear cowl. Looks like a pad where your tailbone area would be.
@@ChrisB119 thats standard on tail piece of the bike chris, came factory fitted with the 2015/2016 models
@@TheBikeStig okay thanks. I’ll do some more digging. If it exists and came with the bike, there is a replacement and a name for it. 😉
😰😥
I’m sorry, are you saying meow?
hahahahahaha, meow i know that scene well
Why does everyone say "double r"?? So douchey, sorry bro but yep. I have a double e too
stops me stuttering :-)
