  • After some trial and error, I figured out one of the best ways to get a better POV when shooting GoPro footage on your motorcycle. This mount setup will work on most bikes and this setup that I'm showing is specifically for doing the gas tank style mount on an R3. The only improvement I can see if getting the view just a little bit higher, I might find some extension to add, what do you guys think?
    Parts Needed:
    RAM Mounts Ball Head Base - bit.ly/34ed9N3
    RAM Mounts Double Socket - bit.ly/3jlD8bO
    RAM Mounts Action Camera Ballhead - bit.ly/36nw2zW
    M5-0.8 x 55 mm Bolt - thd.co/36rzWaT
    M6 Washer - thd.co/3jmC9Ib
    If you have a larger bike, you can skip the ball head base mount and M5/M6 bolt and washers and just get one of these:
    RAM Mounts Gas Tank - bit.ly/2Sfs7gf
    Tool(s) Needed:
    4mm Allen/Hex

    This also reduces wind noise so much! Recording Engine noise is much easier, even up to triple digits. Anything faster obviously, I think I'd worry more about the GoPro falling off then wind noise.
    But Tank Mounting is definitely the way to go.

    Thank you so much for this video!
    Simple things can be so easy sometimes. I had to find a solution for my next racetrack visit, where helmet mounted cameras are not allowed. Now I found it. Thanks a lot!

      Was the track good with the camera being mounted to the bike similar to how I have it in the video?

      @@moto.obsession I think it worked very well. I had no issues while driving and the Video was also stable (no vibrations so far). The only thing I struggled was to find a way to secure it with a rope (our racetrack and organizer were very strict with us, but it woked fine).
      Next time I need a solution for the wind noise :)

    This is very informative and accurate but the downside for me is that i cant seem to find M5 0.8 x 55mm screw anywhere…. Went to two home depot, lowes, ace hardware but they dont have the 55mm long

    How would you tuck in then?? Stick with the chin mount set up also easier to get footage on multiple bikes…

    • @moto.obsession
      @moto.obsession  Рік тому

      I don’t go fast enough to need to fully tuck but yeah if you are tucking in or at a track you would want to go with a different route.

    Great idea for the track or off-road but as it shows the speed you're riding at it's a definite no-go for me for road riding.

    Question. What is the length of the screw that goes in the gas tank? after you put it on the Ram ball mount. Is it 27mm?

    Awesome solution! One question, must the m5 screw be 55mm long? Can it be shorter since the original one is shorter too

    • @up2space
      @up2space Рік тому +1

      You may have to try a bit... in case just cut the scew carefully or buy another one in the later known length✌🏻

    • @moto.obsession
      @moto.obsession  Рік тому +1

      I got that size as it’s equals about the same as the OEM one when you account for the raised part of the mount - hope that makes sense

    • @moto.obsession
      @moto.obsession  3 роки тому +1

      It’s the shortest one, I think they name is size small. If you use the longer ones it tends to shake the camera too much.

    Can you not just stick the standard flat mount on the tank?

    • @moto.obsession
      @moto.obsession  3 роки тому +1

      Not on the R3, all the default GoPro mounts they include don’t conform to the shape well or block the key/opening to get into the gas tank.

      Not really, this is better for regular road use and not going crazy fast. If you are needing to fully tuck a lot I would stick with the chin Mount.
