The Velocipod
There are already many ways showing you how to fix a camera to your bike when you riding, and it couldn’t hurt to have another. The parts are simple enough:
1 x Manfrotto quick release plate
1 x Bicycle light mount with padding
I initially thought about getting a small ball-head and clamping that to the bar, which would allow more control of angles, but decided that it was probably overkill for my purposes, as I doubt that I’d be shooting from the bike that often, and just wanted something small and not too obtrusive. A slight complication rose with the original camera mount screw on the plate which was too wide at the base, and thus could not be moved once the clamp is fastened, so I replaced it with one from an old flash clamp which had a smaller diameter. Haven’t taken the rig out for a extended ride yet, but it seems sturdy enough, at least for little compacts like this one. I’d advise against having the camera mounted for any extended period of time anyway, as I doubt most are designed to withstand shocks for such durations.
