mounting camera to helmet/frame?

[AmirB]

whats up guys? im out of funds so i cant afford a helmet cam right now, is there a way i could mount my camera to the helmet or the frame? im going to use a canon powershot a550 for this. i had a mount i made for the helmet out of a nestea bottle but it screwed up the screw hole that you use to mount it on a tripod

Hey AmirB, how about getting the old gaffer/duct tape out? You should be able to carefully tape your camera to your lid or frame with out covering the lens/controls, maybe use a couple of zip ties too.

There's loads of ways to bodge it even if you've screwed up the screw hole.

yea thats the thing, im afraid it'll fall down and break or the video will come out sketchy and shake a lot.

Gaffer tape is king, use enough of it and your camera will be safe. That vid looks stable enough, post up a pic of the mount you made.
