Anyone who has viewed a bike video on YouTube will wonder how to make a record of cycling. I've talked about this for years without actually attaching a camera to one of my bikes until now.
I took a small handicam and by searching around at my local camera store, managed to come up with a reasonably priced solution for securely fixing the camera to the bike.
The large clamp is made by Manfrotto and the ball head is available at most camera stores - usually in the tripod section. I know this clamp as a "Maffer" clamp but Manfrotto calls it a "Super Clamp". I have managed to clamp the camera to one of my front shocks (see photo), to my pannier rack, my handlebars and the seat tube stem. There seems to be no limit to how it can be attached.
In an upcoming blog, I'll show you some results from attaching the video camera to my road bike and my mountain bike.
*Note: I've seen a knock-off version of the Super Clamp for half the cost of the Manfrotto offering and I found a no-name ball head as well.
