Bike Mount for Pure Digital / Flip Vid Cam

This project mounts a small video camera (Pure Digital or Flip) onto bicycle handlebars. The camera sits on a platform that is clamped to the bars. This type of camera does NOT have a tripod mount at the bottom like higher quality cams have.
***MORE DETAILS SOON***

This is a prototype so further efforts should produce a sleeker more functional mount. But this one works ok as far as attaching securely to the bike. However, the video is shaky so there needs to be some provision for image stabilization. Wrapping the bottom part of the camera in thick rubber might help with this.

Good stuff, all that's missing are vertical straps to make me feel really safe.
