Results from today's experimental camera mount system. Do believe I had some bad settings on the camera so it could hopefully be better. Not very photogenic conditions out there either. Quite windy and the small windshield didn't help. Back to the drawing board.

Not bad, not bad at all. Keep it going.

Going back to large windshield and take a spin down the road to see how much shield gets in the pic.

Nice and very simple looking mounting.
And photo results seems very good.
Any problem with video??
>> then you may try to add some short bunge code (or velcro) to MIRROR.
What I meant is, mirror will be shaken (vibrated) not only by engine vibration but also by in-coming wind when go faster.
So, at the top (bottom of the mirror base) add some vibration demper >> string, bunge code, or velcro... etc
>> then tighten down to the somewhere fairing or body frame >> some high tension might needed.
>> this will reduce some high frequency of mirror vibration >> FROM My Own Experience.. ha ha ha

Thanks for the hints Busy. First, back to the larger shield and determine how much wind there is and go from there.

I just wanted to share my little camera experience from this last week of camping with the family. I have a Sony Cyber-Shot, nothing fancy but it basically point and shoot for the family it works. Well I put it in a storage tote away from the rain we had, only to have the dish rag and soap leak all over it! I pulled the battery and memory card out immediately and didn't even try and turn it on. There was a small amount of water leaking out of it and there was water floating behind the LCD screen but the battery wasn't wet. It sat in the sun for 2 days like that and fogged up pretty good but didn't dry. When I got home I put it in a bag of rice for less than 24 hours and it was completely dry. I put the battery in it and it works great! I had always heard that if you put a water logged electronic (mostly cell phones) in a bag of rice that the rice would pull the moisture out but I had never really seen it happened until now! There are just a few dried water spots on the LCD but it works perfectly!

Thanks for the photo's.

I am taking my granddaughter up the BRP on July 17th for an overnight motorcycle trip.

I like the cool riding up there.

Which area of the parkway?

GZ 250, really nice pics. Lots of green and fresh water.
