Which one?

[JTee]

Hello.

I am after advice on 2 things.

1. I am looking at feeding a camera via a usb lead from the power socket at the front on the bike.

There are various plug adapters on fleabay.

Can you recommend one?

2. I wish to mount the camera via a RAM ball which replaces the bolt next to the front right indicator lamp.

There seems to be a couple of RAM Balls with different thread pitches.

Again, can you recommend one to me?

Thanks

JT

I use a GoPro auto charger to power my camera http://shop.gopro.com/EMEA/accessories/auto-charger/ACARC-001.html#/start=1

Can only use the above charging lead on gopro when it's out of its plastic housing.. Ie not mounted to bike..

Wrong there's a back door with slot cut out on the left side, think it's called the skeleton housing. Alternatively drill a hole in side of housing to accommodate the USB plug.

I strongly recommend using a right angle USB as otherwise you may damage the socket onboard the camera

You're right on that score. I've got Sony action cam as well. I was referring to the GoPro

I find the battery life on the Sony is better than the GoPro.

Its a Drift HD, so usb charging is OK.....I think!

I have just fitted 2 of these to my GS. Cheap and they work very well. www.innovv.com the C3 1080 HD model. About US$125 each, then buy a 12V to USB adaptor and a $5 waterproof housing to put the recorder in (lenses are waterproof and have a 1.5M cable. Install and forget, starts recording with ignition on. Uses a micro SD card.

I use a DIN plug with 2 USB sockets - found on tinternet - in the accessory socket to power my Drift HD Ghost S. It works fine.

Bought one from Nippy Norms in the end.

Looks just what I want.

If the salt and ice go away I might be able to see if it works!
