My Solution fot the Motorcyclist Photographer

[bccap]

I often go for a ride with the express purpose of combining a ride with a hobby. My ingredients:
1 A c-clamp camera holder
2 A large tank bag
3 A sling style camera bag
I chose a Nikon digital for my bag mounted camera for 3 reasons
It has a 24 mm lense
A swivel mount screen
And a remote shutter release,which I plan on mounting on the left grip.
This gives me the opportunity to shoot from the bike, and carry a full kit for interesting stops along the way.
The camera bag is inserted into the tank bag and the c-clamp used on its lid as per the following photos. If you were going on a long trip, I suppose you could bunge it on top of the tank bag. But it would be awfully high on my bag. Or you could use the c-clamp on the tank bag if it is stiff enough and has a place to mount it.

Is that a Caddy parked in back of the bike or are you just happy to see me?

Nice camera rig btw.

Yep, that's my cager. Also my tool chest and and its parked in my workshop. When I bought it, I was disappointed that I couldn't afford the Northstar engine. Thank God I couldn't !! No blown head gasket yet.

What is the C-clamp mounted to?

The lid of the camera bag is zipped up to the middle in front, and clamped there. Because a camera bag is stiff, and compartmented, it doesn't flop around. If you have a heavy camera, just fill up the compartment below the clamp.
