All the talk about mounting a camera vs mounting a lipstick thingy to a helmet got me curious
enough to try and make a full camera mount. I'm making good progress and have snapped a few photos
along the way.

I had some carbon fiber lying around and had never really worked with the stuff so choose it as my
medium. I'm sure it would work just as well with the fiberglass auto repair kit stuff if you didn't
have any cf and epoxy.
My methods are extrememly ad hoc and rough so it doesn't look so hot but I'm happy with it and
that's all that matters. If anyone shows interest I can add some explinations to the photos.
In the last pic of me you can just make out my little yellow "shop vac" doing vacuum bagging
duties while the part sits in a box heated by a light bulb. My wife took the pic to document the
strange behavior she stumbled upon. She heard the vacuum running for about 30 min and *knew* i
wasn't cleaning.
So, I've finished the first (outside) half and I'm plugging away at the inside half and a
mounting system.
If someone knows of a less flashy site to post photos on I'd be open to move it.
