This is a very informative site Jim. I also think that your product descriptions are great. I especially like the one on the iphone / smartphone holder and bracket assembly
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the visit and comment. As I see cycling, it also involves everyday life. So, I include commentary on products I integrate with my cycling. There just happens to be a lot of diverse things that get talked about here. The OWLE Bubo is an example. It will get lots of use this summer. Please come back tomorrow and see what that is all about. –jim

I’m a semi-serious photographer using a Canon S10-IS camera. It’s almost the weight and size of a DSLR digital without the need to lug around lenses, but with wonderful capabilities. I’m using an old, reclaimed SunPak tripod head with a piece of the tripod to connect it with a steering bar end off the nub end of the crank post of my Catrike Expedition. (there’s a sentence for ya !)
My only concern is the vibration and shake from the trike into that bar assembly which will end up destroying my camera eventually. The camera does wonderful video and stills with very good anti-shake properties for the pics built in but again I suspect that the vibration and bumps will kill the camera. To that end I’ve added as much damping material as possible on the bars and connections and only put the camera on the head when I want to take pics. Video on hardtop have turned out really nice. I love the mobile tripod that the trike gives me and hate to give up this higher end camera in favor of an Apple I-Phone with it’s more limited capability.
Thanks for your very detailed pics and travelogue as they have given me lots of ideas. God bless and spin safely.

Good Morning Pat in Missouri,
Thanks for sharing.
Now, you have got to give me a link or links to pictures of your setup. It sounds interesting. My work is a much about exploring possibilities as providing the very best I can find. I’ve tested my iPhone 3GS on two of my cycles. I trust the quad test will begin in April. My boom setup will allow me to shoot from varying angles. The most important season for using my iPhone is the live feeds you see, now as recorded video on Qik. Select the Qik logo at the top to go to my account and see other recorded videos.
In addition, the principal [Rafael] on this tour has a more capable–also Canon [I do not recall which at the moment]. Together, you should get a pic & vid treat.
Now, I’m waiting to see your setup.
Thanks!
Jim

Hi Pat,
Thanks for sharing your camera mount experiences. I’m hoping my Sony survives the vibrations of the tour. Thanks for following and the well wishes. Hope to hear from you after the tour begins. –jim
