Nice Instructable, but it could really use some more in-focus pictures.

Yeah, unfortunately I had to use my phone to take photos of the camera, and the camera itself isn't great at macro shots. Since I published this 'ible I've gotten a better camera.

sweet, never thought of that idea, although I wonder if theres a way you can put a webcam on a bike and have the images stream over the net through a wireless connection. that would be sweet too. heh heh, by the way, you're supposed to stop at stop signs too, LOL!!!

[rogers236]

well idk how you would stream to the web unless you had a really good cell phone with an unlimited data plan. on the bike it's practically silent. the noise in the video is from the air hitting the microphone, i forgot to take it out. I didn't see any cars or hear anything at the first stop sign, onto the 'main' road. the second one was in my little neighborhood, and no one really ever drives through it. lol. its an E shape off of the main road.

very cool this is much better than trying to mount a camera with duct tape lol

is there a video in step 4 or something? i cant see it. you could use a hose clamp instead of the snap thing. just drill a hole in the strap and put the bolt through it, and tighten it. that way it wont bob around

[rogers236]

Yes there is a video is step 4, it's working now. And I did make improvements to the design, so now it doesn't move around at all. I used the fuse holder because it was what I had laying around the garage.
