Description
This is a handlebar mount for a compact camera for a bicycle. It uses a 6 x 25mm bolt for the camera and a 3 x 30mm bolt and nut to clamp the handlebars.

Instructions
Print it! (I reccomend using the raft, the latest model had some curvature on the bottom surface.)
buy:
- 6 x 25mm bolt
- 3 x 30m and nut
- rubber washer
- Fit the M3 nut into the hole on the end. I used a heat gun to soften the plastic and then jammed it in. This way it keeps in tightly.
- Thread the M6 nut throught the block. Place rubber pad on top (this helps to dampen the vibration)
- Thread your camera onto the screw. (Note: the first camera I used was very cheap and had plastic threads which shreaded instantly. ONLY USE CAMERAS WITH METALIC THREADS!!.
- *IMPORTANT: slid the hand strap over the handlebars before clipping on the camera (just in case.)
- Snap the mount on the handlebars. It should stay where it is without the tightening nut.
- Place screw in tightening nut.
Enjoy!
