Cam Experiment #1 - CrotchCam

Mi familia bonita got me a fun little action camera for Christmas that I can strap to my helmet, my body, or anything else with a bit of ingenuity. It's waterproof to three meters and seems pretty rugged.

Last night I probably spent half an hour or more trying to mount the camera to the awesomest spot on my bike possible, which I feel would show both rider and landscape. The top tube was the obvious choice, but the tube is too fat for the bracket that comes with the camera. So I velcro-strapped it to my seat.

The effect is one I'm calling CrotchCam, because that bugger is right near there. It worked pretty well, except when I was up off my seat. Then the camera was pointed directly at my ass. I've tried to cut all ass-footage out for the benefit of the viewer.

Behold:

I'll play around more with different mounting options to find something better, but this isn't half bad. A cold morning in late December, with all my new winter gear on (works fanTASTically) and bright-pink hands on pretty white handlebars.

Back at work today, hope you guys don't share my fate.

Adios.
