Looking into doing a tour in Scotland soon and planning to take the video camera however I need to find a decent mount. My fuel tank is under my seat on the F800 so I can't fit anything to the fuel cap so I was thinking about getting a decent suction pad mount but I’m worried about the camera falling off the bike…. I mean I have a camera that’s worth around £500…do I really want to be attaching that via a suction pad when I’m touring…

Anybody know of a decent supplier of bike camera mounts?

Cheers

Why dont you buy a cheaper camera?
Or use some fail safe like a cable tie or some sort of lanyard, attach it to the bars incase it does come loose, that way you wont lose your cam!

Does your camera have an AV input, you could connect a helmet cam type attachment enabling you to store the camera in a bag and only have the cam attachment strapped to the bike.

Looked at attaching a remote lense but I only have AV out which is a shame.

I have a Sony HD cam. Not going to buy a new camera, I'm already struggling to justify owning this one... I've hardly used it!

Lanyard....cracking idea. Whatever I mount it too, I'll attach it to the bike ... or me.

Have you tried Touratech, I believe they supplied the gear for Ewan and Charlies jolly's.
Bought some bits and bobs from them, very good quality.
