home made camera mount. the Oregon Scientific camera i have came with a bicycle clamp mount for handle bars. i took an aluminium tube and some rubber hose spent about $11.

Step 1: bent tube in the shape of a happy face.

Step 2: flattened the ends and drilled holes in them.

Step 3: bought longer screws that fit into my windscreen anchor nuts and bolted the tube on.

Step 4: used 2 sizes of rubber hosing to increase the dia of the tube so that the handle bar clamp could clamp down snug.

did a great job and was dirt cheap.
