I did some experimenting with moutning my camera on the RS last week and took a ride up CA 74 - The Palms to Pines Highway. The camera is cantilevered and tends to shake around too much. I ran the clip through some video stabilization software which helps but the frames still jump around a bit now and then.

Here's the video. There's no audio because it's all wind noise. Next time I'll puy some tape over the microphone and see how that works.

A little jumpy but not too bad. Nice video. When you are following that car is the camera auto focusing on it?

Seems as jumpy as mine when the camera was behind the screen (too many reflections for me). Now peers around the screen on LHS still not good enough. Can see why so many use helmet cam.
As for sound, I keep a small piece of gaffer / Duct tape stuck to the case, which I place over the mic when filming on bike. Still picks up engine & speech, but the wind is in the background.

That looks like one fantastic stretch of road. I don't doubt that it bites a few riders.

What kind of camera are you using? I have a sony hc-1 that I was I have been thinking about mounting to my RS. I am also interested in the new HD Motorsports Hero camera.

Thanks for the video.
