Figure out where you want your tripod. Wherever you put the tripod on your bicycle, factor in the ease of reaching over to press the button on your camera to take pictures. I thought it would be pretty cool to have some unique views like attaching the tripod just below the seat looking down at the wheels, but it really didn't seem to practical when I started thinking about it.

In the end, I choose the location which was the most logical for me, which was on the handlebars. That way the camera was easy to access to take pictures. The camera is also always in view so you can see if the camera may be getting loose from the tripod, and you can avoid any disasters involving expensive electronics before they happen.

Play around until you find a suitable location. Test the location out by placing the tripod there and closing the legs around the bike frame. See how well the tripod holds without being properly secured. Once you've decided where you want your tripod, you will secure it to the bike with zip ties.
