Anyone Mounted a Go Pro on their MT07?

[DJP]

As above really, has anyone mounted a camera (any make) on their MT07?

If so, how did you do it and how easy was it?

I'm thinking of buying one but I don't want to fork out the money only to find it's a bugger to fit.

For a go pro there is attachments for everything, I have a gopro as well but has not yet mounted it.

I have a Novatek SJ400 which was £38.99. comes with all the same attachments as a GoPro and video quality looks great at 1080p.
I have mounted mine on my lid and not the bike as gives a better view angle my opinion

I had mine on the windscreen till I dropped the bike and smashed the screen. I normally find the helmet is a better place with the anti-vibration your body provided.
Though I guess something on the handlebars would be good with the lack of vibration there on the MT-07

I put my Drift on my helmet. There is always room for a camera on the helmet.

Im using the innovv c3
power from the aux connector (via twin 5v usb converter) the reccoder units sit under the pillion seat and the camera head - front behind grill - rear behind footplate (limited view) so just moved it to the (inside) top of the passenger footrest (more visible but better view)

tried mounting it on top of the headlight (see sunny day open road vid here ) but got bad vibration on acceleration - mounted on the frame is more stable

No room on the bars for a standard "bar mount". A flat sticky mount would fit on top of the air intakes if you didn't mind sticking it on the plastic. Or a "roll cage" mount to the tubular side frame below the tank.

Well, I eventually bought an SJCAM SJ4000 (basically a GoPro copy). It works surprisingly well (will upload a Youtube vid when I get a chance). In the end, I stuck the mount to the front of the bike with the mount provided, which seems secure enough. And here it is:

Sadly Youtube doesn't really do this justice - this plays at far higher quality straight from the camera. Youtube's encoding seems to downgrade it quite considerably.

Still, at least it gives an idea of how it works on the bike.

Balki - can you share some footage of the vid camera so I can see what it looks like - I like the idea of mounting one like this, but worry that the grill will ruin the picture?
