Articulated Bicycle Camera Mount With Quick-Release

Step 4 Attach the Mounting Bracket

Now that we've done our drilling, it's time to attach the mounting bracket. Place the bracket on the tube and insert the 3/8" mounting bolt through the bracket, pointing up. Add the washer and nut on the top and tighten -- make sure it's quite tight or the tripod head will have a tendency to rotate. Insert the small machine screw through the holes in mounting bracket and the ones you drilled in the handlebars. If the screw is long enough, feel free to put a nut on the end -- it's not wholly necessary though if your screw fits quite tightly.

Optional -- You can also wrap a piece of rubber or tape around the handlebar tube before putting the bracket on. This provides some additional friction, which will be necessary if you decide to omit the cotter screw. Rubber works best but duct tape or electrical tape will also do the job -- tape two pieces together or fold a piece over so you don't get nasty stickiness all over your handlebars.
