Location 1: Center Handlebar Mount

• 📌 The Super Clamp is recommended as the best clamp for motorcycle use, ideal for mounting the camera in the center of the handlebars.
• 🛠️ Using the provided tool to tighten the clamp ensures maximum stability, preventing unwanted movement.
• 🎥 This position offers a fantastic shot of the rider, with the ability to also capture forward views, functioning similarly to a dash cam perspective.

Location 2: Bar End Mount

• 🎯 This setup utilizes the left bar end (to avoid throttle interference) with the Super Clamp and an invisible selfie stick.
• 💡 The camera can be positioned directly in front of the motorcycle or at a 45° angle, providing dynamic shots that include the rider, bike, and surroundings.
• ✅ The setup is easy to attach and remove, making it a convenient option for unique perspectives.

Location 3: Swing Arm Spool Mount

• ⚠️ This is a favorite but potentially risky location, using the swing arm spool as a clamping point.
• 💥 Caution is advised, as leaning too far can cause the camera to scrape the ground, as demonstrated by a previous incident.
• 🎥 This mount provides a cool shot of the rear tire and chain, and when angled forward, offers a view of the motorcycle's path, ideal for track riding footage.
• 💡 An alternative for bikes without spools is to try clamping to the kickstand, though stability may vary.

Location 4: Helmet Camera Setup

• 🎭 Using the L bracket accessory allows for versatile helmet camera placement, offering both standard forward POV and a lower, chest-cam-like angle.
• 🚀 This setup provides the widest field of view for helmet cameras, enhancing the perception of speed and offering flexibility for different social media formats (YouTube, Instagram).
• 🎬 The camera position can be quickly adjusted between forward and downward-facing angles without restricting rider movement.

Location 5: Rear Shot (GTA Style)

• 🚁 This popular "GTA style" shot mimics a drone following the motorcycle using a U-bolt clamp on luggage racks or passenger pegs.
• 🔗 An extended, thicker selfie stick is recommended over the standard invisible selfie stick for increased stability and to minimize bouncing footage.
• 🧩 The 360 camera's stitching process effectively deletes the pole, creating a seamless shot that appears to be captured by a following drone.
• ⚠️ Riders should be mindful of the protruding camera setup to avoid contact with other vehicles, especially when riding near the edge of the lane.
