R1250RT Camera mount

Post by Gavj »

Anyone sucessfully mounted a go pro or similar to their RT? Had a quick search and can only see the bracket type that sits in front of the screen,, not so keen on that type.

Hello Gavj, Wunderlich also produce a front camera mount that mounts under the headlight. Product code 44600-610.  Personally I have not tried but it may be suitable to your requirements.[size=24px]Image

I've got one of these and it works very well. I get good clear shots. I have a GoPro remote mounted on the handlebars to turn it on and off. You can mount the camera on either the top or bottom, I mount it on the top.


On my old bike I had one of the ones that mount in front of the screen like this one. That worked well as well but I think I prefer the one above

Thanks both,, not so keen on the under light version, was thinking more about around the bars / not sure about how behind the screen would work..

I would forget behind screen, all the tiny scratches you cannot see will show up.


The advantages of the under light bracket compared to the other one I mention are the it does not move if you adjust the screen and you have more choice over how to position and direct it. It is also less visible if you leave it on the bike unattended, for instance whilst paying for petrol.


I did look if there was anywhere else to mount it but the they all had vibration problems.

I have a garmin virb camera mounted using the screen mount. It obviously moves with the screen but the field of vision is such that there's little effect on the picture. I have the camera hard wired to the bike so no battery issues, and I can control it from the nav vi.

I've got my camera mounted on the BMW sat nav bracket above the dash. It’s behind the screen and it’s cristal clear .
