I've seen some videos by Zip here with views from other places than the handlebars. I have a hb mount and a rear saddle rail mount which is cool but a PIA to get on and takes up the seat pack area. I've used the under the DT and front seatpost view a few years ago when I had a roll bar mount that really sucked ha ha!
But after viewing the others a few days ago, I thought I should look into a mount that would allow me to get those shots again. I see they can be expensive for what they are. $45+
Heck, when I bought my K-Edge HB mount few years back they ran $69. Now the suckers run $39 or so. Oh well!
So I was looking on youtubie looking for mounts and maybe prices. That is when I ran across this hack. Use the gropro pretty much useless till now flat base mounts. A few of the links I got with the camera, another helmet link, then followed the instructions.
Pretty easy, cut channels in the shape of cross into the padding adhesive of the flat mount. Then use an old ID plastic card type to glue the remaining 4 pads onto the card as a backing, trimmed to size.
The crosses leave channels so that one can slip the zipties through mounting to the fork or seatstays, chainstays, downtube whatever.
Looks pretty good but I'll have to test it as well as place a rubber tube between it and the bike.
I don't see why it won't work and it was free to me! And more than likely free to others who have bougth GoPro video cameras.
Crappy pics but you get the idea.
