Low Angle Shots - Mount Ideas?

[Motorpsych]

Hi guys, here's another question for you all. How to get a low angle shot. Where the camera is low to the ground, maybe a part of the riders foot is visible, or maybe it's just the front tire, the shocks working, and the disk brake visible. Do any of you have experience with this kind of shot, and if so how did you get it. What kind of mount did you use or rig up?

Thanks guys, looking forward to hearing your tips and ideas.

If you're fully faired, a suction cup on the low front fairing (watch your lean), I've clamped a GoPro to the rear footrest before (see my what "What is it?" video). You can get all sorts of arms and bendy bits to attached to clamps.

I used a clamp and mount in a peg or fairing arm for the GoPro, works great!

Finding a spot will be different for every bike, but a good tip is to ensure you attach a tether, especially if using a suction cup and make sure nothing is going to get caught in moving parts.

Tethers are very helpful. Dont want a $200-$400 camera falling off somewhere on the road. Cheap way to insure your equipment doesn't get lost.

Swingarm comes to mind

Suction cup, handle bar clamps, 3M adhesive. You can use the suction cup for flat surfaces, usually fairing, otherwise the handle bar clamps can go onto the passenger pegs/bracket or engine slider. 3M can go anywhere that has enough surface for you to stick one.

All options are recommended to have tether just to be safe, and not lose your camera.

Very helpful.
