    Default DIY camera mount from Clubroadster

    Saw this on clubroaster (DRFT MX5) and thought some of you guys might be interested, I plan on making one. Total budget is like $10

    If only I had a harness bar. It would make a camera mount solution that much easier.

    You could get that 90* piece and mount it on one of the side bars in the main hoop. Maybe

    Well crap, the local hardware store doesnt have threaded 1/2" female plugs, or 8" releasable zip ties. I'll have to drive into Sherman tomorrow to get them.

    Parts List:
    1 1/4" T fitting
    1 1/4" to 1/2" threaded reducer
    threaded 1/2" female plug
    2 hose clamps
    bolts and nuts size 1/4"-20x1/2"--1 bolt and 3 nuts
    8" releasable zip ties

    I would try Home Depot or Lowe's. The Foxworth Galbrath in town did not have all of it. I haven't made one yet, but I have to go to Sherman tomorrow anyway so I'm going to grab the things I don't have then and try to get it done tomorrow. The next few days are kind of busy for me so it might be Monday or Tuesday before I get a chance to work on it.

    Thanks! I will try my hand this weekend. Duh! I don't even have a camera! I guess I will start looking for one. Ye all, please let know if there is any TCB camera (preferably wide angle) deal out there!

    Looks like a find idea.
