Would extreme vibrations kill my camera? - 06-03-2007, 10:29 PM


I am thinking about constructing a clamp for my motorcycle so that I could attach my camera to the handlebars. I could shoot with the remote release.

I think I could do a really interesting series of photos, but I dont really wanna kill the camera in the process.

Thoughts?

Add a couple layers of stiff rubber and styrofoam, and rubber grommets on the mounting bolts? I'd sure hesitate to put my best camera on there.

Here's a related thread on cameras, motorcycles and vibration on LUF. It seems if it's long term bad things can happen.
