The Cyclist the Camera and the Carriage Clock
I'm the kind of person who loves making solutions to problems which
don't really exist. Hence one day I wondered if I could attach my digi-cam to my bike in such a way to avoid smashing my camera to bits when I stack (I stack - lots) in order to take short video clips that would probably be of interest to no-one but myself and a couple of weirdos who frequent this group (alright Shaun!). I wanted to make something that would protect the camera whilst still allowing quick access to the controls, and also something that could detatch in the case of a direct impact to try and reduce the damage. Carriage clock-cam was born http://steve-t.fotopic.net/c588680.html Total cost was =A31.80 - =A31 for the clock, 20p for a sheet of stainless steel and 50p for four bolts the same spec as a tripod mount. I also used a piece of mouse mat on the base for cushioning and a cork place mat to hold the bold captive and provide grip for the camera. Originally I hoped (rather naively I now realise) that the 'case' would attach to the stainless steel 'mount' through velco, thus allowing it to detatch easily. Let me tell you, velco is sh1t, and trying to glue velco to ss is also near impossible. The hi-tech solution involved elastic bands. These worked fine but more would be better... If anyones still reading this by now, good for you, I've uploaded a sample vid of the results here (6.5mb) http://savefile.com/filehost/files.php?fid=3D1030819 Steve. |

Turned up looking like a reply to the OP for me, but without the thingy... Shaun aRe |
