I was thinking about buying a camera mount but then came up with an idea to make my own. Here is how I did it: (youtube link at bottom of post)

Step one: get an old mirror, remove the mirror and keep the stem. Also get a piece of steel and drill a few holes in it

Step two: Put stem on bike and mark where you want the steel piece to be

Step 3: Remove stem from bike and weld the steel piece to it, go to your local hardware store and get a bolt/washer setup. Install on bike and take it for a test ride.

Finished product, feel free to check out my other videos on there as well

Made a shield for it out of lexan today and added a rubber washer. Now I need to figure out how to get rid of the reflection. Here is a video of me testing it out on my sv650 on a local road. ( I run bar end mirrors on this bike so this mount works perfect)

I need to clean off this bike, I just washed it not too long ago but I keep killing bugs.

I think I have the same tripod as you, I never thought about using that method.
