ArmyGuy Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I am fortunate enough to be able to test out a new GoPro mounting system made by Kai Bruder at GuardConcept (https://www.facebook.com/guardconcept.de). It's to be sold through Wunderlich. Installation took all of 10 minutes. The hardest part was getting my hex driver from under the seat. There are three hex bolts that are exchanged with the OEM originals. I'll post up video of it in use tomorrow after the lightning stops. Until then, here are some pictures of it mounted.

TEWKS Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Psst...Mike put the camera back in the case before you go out. Kidding but a little story. A few years back I went snorkeling with some buddies down in Key West. Guy had his new Gopro and we were doing all kinds of stupid pet tricks in the water. We get back to shore and he informs us that he forgot to put the memory card in the camera! Pat Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Pat, that sounds like something I might do...or may have already done. I was the only witness and am not talking. I will head out this weekend and post up a video. Link to comment
Ron-M Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I like that. Wish he something for an RT. Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Ron, I'll ask him if anything is in the works for other BMW motos. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I like that. Wish he something for an RT. I would also be interested in an RT mount. Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I spoke with Kai today. The RT mount is in planning stages. He is going to his local BMW dealer to have a look at an RT and then come back with ideas. His concern is that RT riders may not like a permanently mounted camera mount. He is quite open to suggestions/ideas and will readily answer any questions you have. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Maybe use the two lower winshield screws as a mounting point for some sort of cross bar. It would be out of the rider sight line and easy to mount/dismount (two screws). Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Squirrel, I'll pass on the thoughts. Hope to get out this weekend to post up a video of the mount in action. Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 First video shot with my new GuardConcept GoPro Mount. I like the video much better than from the helmet mount and you can hear the engine sounds much better. First ride with new Guard Concept GoPro Mount Link to comment
Larry82 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Anyone else having trouble viewing the video? Can't get it to play for some reason. Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Anyone else having trouble viewing the video? Can't get it to play for some reason. I just get the default Flickr home screen. I'm not a member of Flickr, don't know if that matters. I know with PhotoBucket, I have to set the security such that others can see my pics. Link to comment
ArmyGuy Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 I'm moving it over to YouTube now... Please let me know if this link works... Link to comment
