Action Mount

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Funny name but what I’m describing is the camera mount for my Flip. It has velcro straps that allow you to attach it to just about anything. The only thing I can think of is a bike, however. And that’s what I bought it for. YouTube Preview ImageQT version

John Gruber mentioned this on his famous blog. I’ve been waiting for something just like it for years now. It stores an hour of video, connects via USB, Record/Stop. There’s nothing else to it. Oh, except this action mount. I need to go out on the Scituate Reservoir route and record the completely arbitrary bike lane on highway 14 and send it to Slate. One mile long, two painful hills. Not much cost to taxpayers: just put up a sign that says “Bike Route” on one end and another that says “Bike Route Ends” on the other. No road modifications necessary. 

So, is the camera any good? Don’t know. Hasn’t arrived yet.
