Ram Mount

[diversion74]

Going on first trip to abroad in May to Germany and the ring.

I would like to fasten a camera to my bike for the trip and if allowed my video camera for going round the ring.

I have seen the Ram mount RAM-B-149Z-C1 which looks the right assembly but before I buy one I wondered if any one here had any thoughts?

1. Is this only available through GPS Warehouse?

2. Is it easy to use a digital camera on the move?

3. Can you video whislt riding round the ring as I heard that this is now banned?

The ring issue isn't a big one but it would be nice to take some shots while we are all riding.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

1) Also available here: http://www.motorradconcepts.com/eshop/gps-mounts/ram-mount/ram-b-149z-c1-camera-mount/

2) Some digi-cams have a remote control on-off button so you can operate without letting go of the handlebars......

3) Not heard of that one........a quick email to the 'Ring should give you an answer.......

Cheers

ah, but who's to see a little bullet cam tucked discreetly away with camcorder in your tool tray and a LANC switch on the bars to turn it on and off

Just need a decent camcorder with AV in and LANC. Oh, and a bullet cam.

Here's what I did ......

Camera was operated by a LAN cable from the camera to a switch velcro'd to the top of my clutch reservoir. Worked a treat!

Just as a matter of interest, I bought some 3M stuff called Duo-Lock the other day. Much better than velcro in as much as it has a much stronger "rip" strength for want of a better term, and it's able to carry heavier loads. Useful if you are carrying a video camera or you want to attach a GPS for instance. It's easy to get hold of in USA, but I bought mine by the metre from ebay. If you go down this route, check that the prices quoted are including vat and P&P
