Finally a brilliant Gyro Camera for bikes!

As some of you may now I've been on a quest since October 2013 to build / find a gyro cam for my bike to create footage similar to the Moto GP boys.
(Original thread is here: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=205035)

After a few different attempts, I have found the perfect solution for my needs.
It uses a GoPro style camera and can be run from a battery or the bikes 12V supply.
Small enough to pass Race day scrutineering, lightweight, strong and can be mounted anywhere on the bike.

Designed by Mosci in Germany and now I've built one for myself.
You can too thanks to a build log I have created in collaboration with Mosci.



I tested mine out two days ago and it works perfectly but the video above is more interesting than my commute to work!

All parts are available online and are linked in the parts list PDF file.

If you wanted one but didn't want to build one yourself I am offering to build them for an introductory low price which is not that much above the cost price as you would find out from looking at the parts list.
The price includes a donation to Mosci for all his hard work in designing it.

The link to the build log (Will be finished by the weekend) and parts list is here:

Contact me via PM or thru my website for details on costs if required.

This is pretty cool.

Excellent stuff. From what I can see, the magic is in the mount. So any way this can be used for another type of cam? Say a Drift?

And, don't kill us with suspense. Give us a rough idea of cost - built/unbuilt.

Sadly the work involved with using a drift would not be worthwhile. Id say it'd be easier to just buy a 50quid gopro clone and off u go.

What? I thought you lot liked a challenge?

Anyway, good work.

it's not only done with a different camholder ... even if they have nearly the same weight - because of the other form of the drift, the leverage will be bigger, so more force on the motor-axis while riding over the curbs thus a bigger/greater motor will be required - while most of the people uses GoPro or similar like Rollei 4S/5S which will also fit ... or the mentioned clone sj4000, which I used to simulate a hero3

spend me a drift ...some time ... and I will accept the challenge - but - you schould place a couple of pund to a dispositary before lets say 200 GBP - let's say a time-frame of 4 weeks?

Very good - loved Macau. Shows how much effort it takes just to get around (quickly).

I would do that...someone would do that! If you're serious, then I'm sure something can be arranged.

@ Runako
I don't think that the result will be comparable to the GoPro-Version as long
as it's build out of plastic - I assume you should use at least aluminium
the bigger leverage will cause more/longer vibrations -
I'm pretty sure about that - but not sure at all.
do you have a friend - or .. does someone here got access to 'cnc-tooling' ?
It don't worth the effort for one piece ... I would better spend my time on more promising projects

this can be a very simple & lowbudget 'drift prototype'

this guy seems to have modified my unit to a drift-unit


and the result is like expected - a lot more of vibration comes into place
