I just need to figure out how mount the camera so I can take a picture while riding the motorcycle! If I could get an angle like they had on Fonsi Nieto's 250cc Grand Prix bike last year, that would be the ticket! :-)


http://www.phred.org/~josh/bike/winder.html shows a very simple camera mount I made for my OM-1 to fit on a bicycle, facing back to take pictures of other riders. I used a router to make a cradle in a block of balsa wood that holds a Winder 2. The camera mounts to the winder as usual, with the addition of a couple of carefully positioned nylon straps over the top of the body to snug it down, so not all the load is on the tripod screw. I keep the mirror locked up so that it doesn't rattle on bumpy roads.
