Re: Ned's 91 GSX

I'm thinking about just coating the threads really thick and just twisting it into the spot.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

I did the same on mine. The 420a isn't threaded but just pops in. Still the same basic idea and works fine.

Everything looking good

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Did it up with some JBweld, how long does it take to dry/harden up?<--that just sounds dirty

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

It dries in like 12 but takes 24 to fully cure IIRC. Longer you wait... the better.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

The picture makes it look like ass, so don't judge me!

Uploaded a video on youtube, just a quick video with new camera mount. Unfortunetly it's a little shaky.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

I had a hell of a glare in my door window so I couldn't see the screen to see where it was aimed, I just winged it. Video was done with a CANON A560 Digital camera w/ video record option.

Nice.... Not bad positioning for just winging.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Thanks. You can see at one point it was facing the molding. I could just barely see that with the glare so I just adjusted a little further. I might be able to get some good videos tomorrow but I don't know yet. Take note the coolant light. I've had that since I relocated the coolant reservoir, not sure why I'm getting the light though. It does go out eventually.

EDIT: drop some comments ppl

Uploading 2 more videos now. All were recorded the same time.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

It's a pretty basic setup. It was really cheap off ebay, I wanna say it cost me under $5 from Hong Kong. Took a couple weeks to get here but at the time I was in no rush.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Ah it mounts to the window. They pretty damn cheap for a camera mount. I was thinking of building one that clamped to the headrest and maybe using some rubber to adsorb some of the vibrations

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

That doesn't sound like a bad idea. My original plan was to hang the camera from the sunroof by the suction cup but with this mount, the video will be upside down. With this movie maker I'm messing with, it looks like I can rotate the video so I might just try that tomorrow.
