Several years ago (five actually), I became interested in mounting a camera or video camera on my bike and starting digging. As I searched far and wide for the best quality product, ended up in the camp of Harry Hoffman and his SportBikeCam Mount. Faced with the dilema of how to mount his own video camera on his bike, Harry walked into his machine shop and started playing with billet aluminum and a milling machine. What he ended up with is pictured at right.

The product Harry created attaches directly to the fuel tank on your motorcycle via the gas cap mounting bolts. Simply unscrew the front bolts, set the mount down and tighten the included bolts specfic to your motorcycle.

Included is a universal mounting plate that will attach to the bottom of your digital camera or video camera. Mount the plate on your camera bottom (1/4-20 threads are standard to the industry), screw the large knob to the bar and all done! Pretty much about it. Simple solution to a simple problem. More info you say? Read on...

Harry wasn't quite finished just yet. Why stop there? So he also created a rear mount for the option of a rear facing camera - still or video. The rear mount is designed to replace the rear footpeg bracket. While it won't work for all bikes due to mounting configurations, there are still a wide range of applications the mount will fit.

SportBikeCam mounts are made from T-6 Aircraft Aluminum & mount securely to the tank. One of the number one things people do when they see mine is a strange need to touch it and see if it will flex or bend. Ah, no. No bendy, no flexy.

SportBikeCams also come with some options. I have both, a long bar- which is helpful b/c of my longer bike, and a height extender- which is a small bracket that lifts the camera another 2 inches to clear the dash. Applications will depend on your bike of course. I've been using the same mount for years now and it's one of the best products I've got for solid mounting the camera on the bike to capture some shots while riding.

Number One Complaint: "We never stop," he said. "Rode the entire trip, I had 4 pictures. Wives weren't sure if we actually did go on our trip," he added with a wink. You might consider a SportBikeCam mount I suggested. Just mount the camera on the bike and you're done. That got a wink from me. Yes Virgina, you can shoot still photography from the mount.

Trackday Mount: Headed for the track you say, the use of the SportBikeCam in this situation is a obvious one whether you use the front or rear mount. Record on Sunday, relive on Monday.

Road Trip Video: One of the handy things I've done with mine is mount my digital camera on the camera mount, flip it on, and just shoot some video of the road I'm on. Nothing too fancy, don't need to impress anyone, but gives a chance to record where I was, and what it was like for the folks back home. Also note you can rotate the camera a full 360 degrees so if you'd like to shoot some pics of your buds on your group ride, pull up alongside and capture the smiles!

Rear Facing Camera Mount
SportBikeCam also makes a rear mount. While it's only available for certain motorcycles, it's a handy way to create another stable mounting platform to give you the level of versitility that you require. Shoot film forward facing or rearward- even take still photography of your riding buds following behind. It's having the mounts ready to go at anytime that makes the Sportbikecam brackets so handy.

Also made of CNC machined from aircraft 6061-T6 billet, this mount is a match to the popular tank mount position. The mount replaces the rear footpeg bracket but uses interchangeable pieces with the tank mount.

Shooting film rearward at following riders is a great way to get a fresh perspective and mix up the camera angles. Plus if you shoot at the track, the rear mount is an easy ready-made solution for mounting a video camera to capture some on-board track video.

  • Works great with helmetcam systems to provide easy access to your camera.

SportBike Camera Mount - Options

Height Extender Option

Application here will depend on your bike on whether it's reccomended you use one of these or not. If you need to raise the camera up an inch to clear your dash or see through the windscreen, than this small triangle-shaped bracket is designed specific to the SportBikeCam Mount to permanently bolt on. Whenever you'd like to begin filming, just use the knob to attach the mounts together, and in seconds all done.

Photo at right is on the Hayabusa. Consult the price list below as some applications are shipped with the height extender included.

Sample Video shot with SportBikeCam Mount

click for video Bolinas Ridge Road - Check out this short 2 minute video. This was shot with my Digital Camera mounted on the SportBikeCam Mount. Nothing fancy, but if you aren't familiar with this Bay Area favorite, wets the appetite real quick! Goal here wasn't to get too fancy with MTV-style editing, but just give you an idea of what to expect.

click for video Titlow Hill Road - one of the all-time favorites in the NorCal Motorcycle Paradise and a common staple on the NorCal Pashnit Tour. How to prove a point? Check out the video and see. Again, nothing fancy, just a simple digital camera, but you get the idea.
