Bicycle mounts for DSLR cameras?

<p>I am participating in a bike tour next Spring and am hoping to purchase some sort of bicycle mount for larger DSLR cameras (the Canon D60 probably). I am not necessarily talking about shooting off the bike mount, (that might be silly for getting good shots anyways) but a secure mount for storage and immediate access off the frame of the bike.<br /><br /></p>

<p>for a large DSLR type camera , only places would be in the back with a rear bicycle rack , or the front with a basket. attach with a Pelican case or similar , I have a Pelican Storm Case IM2075 mange to fit DSLR with grip and two Med zoom lens. <br>

I just carry a small DSLR backpack when I ride.</p>

<p>You could undoubtedly rig a <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/546356-REG/Manfrotto_035RL_035RL_Super_Clamp_with.html">Bogen Super Clamp</a> with a quick release plate to your handlebars, but I would strongly recommend AGAINST doing so because it would transmit everything from major bumps to constant vibration to your camera, and DSLRs just aren't designed to take such abuse.</p>

<p>I would go with either of Garcia's suggestions. Also, consider whether you really are going to make use of the features of a DSLR when touring compared to what can be done with a high quality (but much smaller) P&S camera such as a G12, s100, etc.</p>

<p>Had to chuckle when I saw the title of this post...You need to mount a bicycle on your DSLR? ; ) Hope you have a great trip! (From a fellow avid cyclist.)</p>

<p>..and get a GO PRO... for the "on bike" shots....<br />Safer, lighter and will get you a shot every 5 seconds!</p>

<p>oh Jeezus, sorry I forgot I posted this. It must have been very late at night.<br /><br />So yes... common sense says don't set the cam in a way that vibration can hit it.<br />I've already made the assumption that I should probably just keep it on my person.<br />BUT, it would be nice to be able to just grab it off the bike at moment's notice.<br /><br /><strong>daniel</strong><br /> no, man! that's not really what it says. (i just made the title too abbreviated and confusing)<br /><br /><strong>tom</strong><br />nice man.. bogen super clamp, i'll probably have to youtube it or something to see what it does<br>

<strong>garcia</strong><br />i'll check out the Pelican cases.. yeah i think a hard, impact-resistant case might be good for any means, actually.<br /><br /><strong>denis</strong><br />yeah, those are frikkin' awesome! <br /><br /></p>
