Shame the Cheif Exec of Bicycle NSW kind of missed the points being made, they could have been a little more supportive.

This is the main guy's youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/rigidmount

I've only watched a bit. Like this Ped who runs out without looking. And this taxi's lane change. In the main he seems to be right, and its proper that someone is raising the concerns.

I saw this yesterday. He makes mounts for normal cameras for handle bars. They look ok but need some material to dampen the vibration.

Yeah. It looked like a version of what Manfrotto have been doing for 60 odd years.

How to dampen vibration:

Cut up a mousemat and poke a hole through it, layer it over your tripod head and put your camera on that.

Works for computer equipment so it's worth a go

A bit OT his motorbike one looks scary; I can't understand the P2W exposing himself to what seemed an obvious risk. I hope he isn't too hurt though and his leathers took the impact of it!

Corrected because I know thats what you meant.

Yeah it looked bad. Apparently he then tried to blame the taxi driver for his own mistake and the camera guy stepped in with the evidence.

Yes, damping the vibration is rather important. Wish I hadn't learned it the hard way - hope you find this amusing

I didn't look at this post until I got home as I thought it was Not Safe for Work.

Had the same happen to me when I was using a manfrotto superclamp and nikon compact. Daft design on the nikon - plastic tripod socket. Snapped at about 25mph after some rough road and took a tumble.Video was corrupted sadly. Moved to an atc3k shortly after.
