cam att. to head? at DVinfo.net

Hi all.

I'm planning a bike ride and would like to attach my cam (trv-19) to the side of my head, to keep my hands free and at the same time be able to "pan and tilt."

Does it exist some kind of mount? Has anybody done something similar? Any idea is appreciated!

Thanks..

No? Anybody? Anything?
I could really use your help people.

Thanks.

Well, since you are desperate for ideas...here's one.

If your camera is a top loader, glue the camera to the top of your helmet with silicone glue. It should be pretty stable yet if you want to remove it, it should be able to come off fairly easily. Or you could put a screw through your helmet instead.

If your camera is a bottom loader, perhaps you could use an L-bracket glued to the side of your helmet with the cam screwed on the bottom leg of the L.

Well it's an idea! But not exactly what I was thinking. I'd like to have the camera on the side, over an ear instead of on top of a helmet.. But doesn't seem like it's been done before?

Well, thanks anyway.. I'll try to come up with something somehow..
