So I've been eyeing off this SoPro mount for the full face for a while now: http://www.sopromounts.com/product/full-face-gopro-mount/
I'm wanting to achieve a central, stable (unlike chest mount), low, forwards shot that captures bars as well as trail ahead. I've tried the under-visor thing and I could only manage to capture one or the other.
It has been sitting in my bookmarks for quite a few weeks and I thought tonight, fuck it, I might order one.
UNTIL I REACHED CHECKOUT AND SAW IT'D COST $80 AUD AFTER SHIPPING.
For something that probably costs $5-10 to make, I thought, hey maybe I could rig up some kind of DIY jobbie to do the same thing, for dramatically less cost.
However, I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to creating things from nothing... so I thought I'd ask on here.
See if any of you guys have created some interesting camera mounts, or better yet, have some ideas on materials for me to create my own SoPro style mount!
With the right materials, some sharp scissors, a Stanley knife, some adjustable straps and something firm to attach an adhesive mount to on the front, I could probably wing it and come up with something that does the job pretty well.
I'm scoping the Bunnings website currently, as there's a store about 5 mins drive from me... but very much open to suggestions, ideas, and helpful tips.
