Mighty nice camera angle. That's going to make for some great footage. I'm just concerned about what would happen out on the trail if a stick or something decided to remove to hairpin from the bottom of your camera mount for you. I've had thick grass remove pins like that for in in fields before.
I like your shop in the background. I like the re-purposed chandelier for a shop light and a computer to research parts. Most importantly you have what looks like an old Kohler blower shroud with a clock where the flywheel would go. That's awesome.
I thought of that a little with the pin. It is super tight, and I arranged it to push further in if I catch it. That does not mean I could not catch it in reverse.
Lol, thanks. It is the shroud to a Tecumseh HH160 that use to be on my Sears ST/16. That was a restore, not on ATLTF though. Pix of that below. That engine was shot so I scrapped it, but kept the shroud. The wagon wheel chandelier was in the dining room. I liked it, so I kept it too.
Got a test run this morning with the camera mount. I will need a side brace. I want to try a bungee cord first as I would like to keep it where I can remove easilly.
OK, this video was the first try today and the best of the bunch. I shored it up and stiffened it. Oh my gosh, just the simple vibrations and every little bump transferred to the camera. I almost got motion sick just watching that footage. I think I will keep it with some play as it absorbs a lot of vibration.
Still shaky. Also, I stalled it this morning. She was still cold.
No issues with mine. Got it off eBay for like $50. Sorta wish I didn't have to download an app to use the remote viewfinder though. And it *says* it films in 4k, I'm not sure it actually does though.
Took mine out for a test video romp. works great but my mounting bolts came loose and the video bounces up and down. and it gets really dirty easily. i mght post some footage on YouTube if i figure it out.

Well, my tires came in! They were boxed so they are a bit warped at the moment. I have them in the living-room trying to warm up. I just need to grab a couple tubes and I'll be ready to mount! Pix when mounted.
I'm a big tube fan. I really don't like it when people use "slime" to fix a tubeless tires because it makes a nasty mess of the rim for the next guy. I'd prefer to just swap tubes in and out. I run tubes in my mud tractors at 5 p.s.i. and I haven't had a problem yet. I think I could go a tad lower in tire pressure but I've never tried it.
Not a fan of slime too. Got one tire on with small struggle. The other was warped pretty bad. Once I finally got the bead to seat. I quickly realized I broke the valve stem.
I have run out of time this morning. I'll try to wrangle it again tonight. I'll let it sit and relax on the bead till i can get it fixed. Sux I have to pop the bead again. grr.
