Where can I get a set of foot pegs like yours please? What size bolts and washers and such did you use?
Thanks

The footpegs are just Mongoose bmx pegs that we picked up from Wally or Target in the bicycle section. My brother painted yellow stripes on his. I don't know the nut, bolt and washer sizes, offhand, but we just took the pegs down to Lowe's (or Home Depot, or whatever) and found some bolts that fit, and ran it with some washers. The pegs only have the grooves so far, so we had to tap them to go the rest of the way. They don't fold in wrecks, which has advantages and disadvantages, and they do bend the bottom of your frame a bit. I should have taken a picture of the hole his dug in the ground.
And Skuuter, we live awfully dangerously around the yard.

Kami,
How's it goin, Eh?
Please be so kind as to informs me of the hardware used for the camera mounts and the thread count(metric/imperial) for your camera's screw-hole thingy. I'm lazy and don't want to figure it out myself. I will send you good Kami-Karma if you decides to comply. If per chance you decides to resist my request, I shall think of you when the tissues I use wipes the tears from my baby blue eyes.
You wouldn't like me when I go all "baby" on youz.
muchly appreciated
your buddy, Gabby

How can I resist, Gabster? I'll inquire to my brother as soon as I can. Oh, and unfortunately, it seems mounted on the blinker stem it vibrates too much. Granted, he tried the video camera and not taking a video on the Olympus, but he beleives that would also vibrate too much. I should try it out out of curiosity. He's still trying to think of something better, though. I'll keep you guys updated, regardless. |

Gabs, you'll hafta forgive me for being slack about getting you that information. I'd make excuses, but it's easier to say I'm lazy and forgetful.
Seeya, we just fit a screw to the tripod spot. Took the camera to the store and fitted screws into it.

We used Adobe Premiere to make the video, and just made the html file with a simple embed code. I ought to go in there and make the page prettier. Maybe I'll do that, later.

Nifty, never saw one of those.
The bad thing about that is those things are made to take one shot with a timer, so when you try to take a continous, you get a lot of vibrations, as I'm sure you noticed from your short ride up the street and back.
Of course, if you saw the video of me driving holding my camera, then comparatively, there was no vibrations at all in your video.
My bro picked up some more angle iron, today, after we rode across town for a family reunion. But the rest of the day was spent putting a new radiator in my car, as apparently, the deer cracked it, too. Oh, well, that's till only 200 bucks or so to fix my "totalled" Subaru.

Gabby,
It's a 1/2 inch EMT strap from the eletrical supply section of the local Lowes, Home Depot, Heckengers, or what ever you have your way and the srew to the camera is a 1/4-20, half inch was the smallest I could get so i added a couple of washers, and a lock washer, to space it right since it is longer then the camera is tapped.
Vibration on the blinker as long as it is near the frame mount seems to be minimal, no more than anywhere else we've mounted it.
One of these days I might get industrious and design something and fabricate it (don't anyone hold there breathe), but I am trying to find something that will work with standard parts so anyone can go to the local hardware and put it together themselves.
