I recently purchased and installed a tank camera mount from SportBikeCam.com (part # SBC 22). I am very happy with the materials used and the level of craftmanship. Installed, the mount is Solid.
My issue is camera selection. With no shortage camcorders choices, choosing the right one has become a bit of a chore. Factors involved are, Form/function, Durability/ease of use, shutter speed/picture quality.
Going to best-buy and talking to the rep there was about as useful as another hole in the head. Alas, I went there to buy a camera so I bought the cheapest SD Card camcorder they had. A Panasonic SDR-S7P/PC ($180.00 cam + $30 8GB SD Card). I will be doing a test run today and see how it works out.
This will not be my permanent cam, but would rather get a quality one. I have been warned by the mount company that vibrations will destroy your camcorder over time. My question for the guru's out there, what camera can I get that will produce superior picture quality with sufficient FPS speed to function at above hwy speeds clearly, be able to handle the vibrations of riding? Battery life is a factor as well as suseptability to the elements. price is really not a factor as long as it is below $1,000 I would prefer to keep it around $500.
Praise to the All-Knowing Hayabusa god in the sky!
