My new digital camera has quite a capable HD video mode, so I'd like to try it out on the bike.
Anyone done a homemade/bodged harness for a digital compact that might inspire me? Not feeling very creative atm.
Bump for the enterprising early risers.
i haven't patented it yet, so don't register my mentod! 😉

That's pretty smart, but your patent is safe. I'm not sticking my Lumix to my fork leg with masking tape!
Was thinking more about chest harnesses. Anyone?
Google DIY gopro chest mount
What exact model have you got?
I have considered this for my Panasonic GH1 camera, but I fear it is a bit too big. I'd need to construct some kind of frame that screws into the cameras tripod mount, that then affixes to me or my backpack.
Problems would be:
* Needs to be high for best view, but that is physically hard, more likely to have to be mid-chest.
* May present too much force on the tripod mount, breaking it.
* Camera exposed to dirt and stones rain etc (can be worked round with filters and rain bags etc)
* Rider exposed to injury if falling off the bike with a hard object strapped to chest.
I have a TZ8
googled as suggested above and results quite interesting, ta
