This is about a six minute video of a test ride with my new Sony action cam mounted to the scooter. The annoying clacking noise you hear is not the valves, it is the camera rattling in the protective housing. I'm still learning how this camera works, editing, uploading ect. and any help is appreciated. I'm good at mechanical stuff but this technical stuff takes me forever to learn. Here is the link to the video. This is how I mounted the camera. Roy

Very nice Roy, thanks for posting. I gotta say, that is the best camera I've ever seen for a motorcycle. That thing takes almost all of the shake out. I'm going to google it and get some specs on it.

The image stabilization was one of the selling points for me over the gopro. Plus it is about half the price of the gopro black.(I still want one though) Sony is fairly new to the action cam scene and there is some flaws with this camera. Such as the not so well thought out case, the buttons and navigating through the menu. But it is a good little camera and will suit my purpose. You cannot use the image stabilization in wide angle mode, but it still takes a pretty wide picture. Hopefully sony will redesign these with a new model

I'm going to stick a couple of thin strips of foam to the camera, that should hold it tight in the housing and eliminate the rattle. I am also going to get another case to try some mods for an external mic and buttons.
