Canon SD300 Bicycle Camera Mount

It wasn’t actually the mounting that held me up, but rather the time lapse software. I’m using 3rd party software called CHKD for the Canon, which allows custom scripts to be uploaded. The script that I’m interested in is a time lapse script. Basically, I can set it to take a picture every second (or 2, 3, 4 seconds) for the duration of my ride. Then, using software, I can stitch all the images back together into a sort of a movie.
But, back to the mount. It’s a simple as it gets. A cheap reflector mount (free actually, from the local bike shop) secured to the handle bars with a bolt sticking up through it into the camera’s tripod mount. There’s a few more pics of it after the break.
