SportBikeCam Camera Mount on a CBR954RR

It's nice to be able to capture photos and video on a ride. There are many different mounts available but I think the SportBikeCam is the most secure and is very easy to install and use.

Here are the rear, side and front views of a Canon G1 digital camera mounted on the optional camera riser kit. The camera is mounted using the tripod mount and then mounted to the tank mount with one knob.

Here's a JVC digital Camera mounted to the SportBikeCam mount. For this type of camera where the lens is high on the camera body the riser kit is not necessary. The riser positions the lens too high with this type of camera.

Here's an picture taken with a Canon S80 camera mounted in the middle position on the camera riser.

In summary the SportBikeCam mount is a great product at a reasonable price. It offers the flexability to mount small/ light cameras to your tank quickly and safely.
