    I see that its a fantastic Idea to have a camera on your bike and the PVC idea is great and affordable. I rate it a 100 in the ratings dept. Nice idea and ingenuity advanced . Good thinking i might use it on my next show . Unless im in prison and then i will use it in my cell .

    I didn’t see a place to rate this, but I would give it 5 star because it was a brilliant idea and gave me some other ideas for attaching other items, (like a compass) to the bike.

    I am looking for a clever way to mount a camera inside your helmet, because it’s quieter and you can speak into it.

    I love it.
    What a nice simple, cheap and effective solution.
    I hadn’t thought of using my cheap still camera’s video capability ’till now.
