All My Junk — In One Place

So with all the bike riding I do, I thought it only made sense to try to show you all the places I go.  Enter the DIY Bike Camera Mount.  I’m way to cheap (and intelligent) to spend $50 on a store bought camera mount, so I figure I might as well just make my own.  So here’s how it’s done:

What You Need

• reflector mount (I went to our local bike shop, Turbo Goat, and got one for free.)(BTW, Turbo Goat, if ya’ll need a web designer, look me up.  Not saying ya’lls website sucks, but it sucks…)
• 2″ x 1/4″ 20 thread screw
• a nut for the screw
• 1/4″ wing nut
• 1/4″ metal washer
• Two 1/4″ rubber washers

Push the screw through the hole in the reflector mount.  After that, put on a rubber washer and the metal washer.  Tighten it down with the nut.

Throw on the wing nut, upside-down, and then throw another rubber washer on top.

That’s it! Screw your camera down onto it and then position it’s height and horizontal with the wing nut.  Voila!

Here’s the first video I’ve made.  It’s of my 14 mile Peach Orchard trek :
