I'm a DIY'er at heart!
As I mentioned before, I was going to need to get my welder out anyway.
When I was looking for my video camera, I saw a tripod I bought a long time ago. So with the head of the tripod, a roller blade wheel, a screw and a bit of metal that I had lying arround I cut and made the mount.
Took about an hour.

I would have bought the IO from Aubrey for $50, but that was snapped up while I was toying with the bullet camera Idea which wouldn't work with my camera. (I could have solved that problem with a new video camers,but the slippery slope is reserved for the car!) At OG I saw the mount and benchmarked off it.

My guess is that the roller blade wheel has a 50% chance of reducing the vibration. If it doesn't I still have the bracket and will go from there.

So far The cost was $0.00 and about an hour.
I've heard something about a strap. The camera came with a strap that goes arround your neck. It's attached to 2 metal pieces on the camera.

I can get it snuggly arround the bars to hold the camera if the mount or camera case were to break. It will flop arround a little but can't go that far foreward. Is thia all that's required?
