(http://www.amazon.com/Flip-Action-Mount-Ultra-Camcorders/dp/B000VJTKRY) The action mount is pretty useless I'm afraid, and the only good thing that came of it was the knob. The vibration isn't too bad, but it's not as effective as a true vibration-dampening mount. I found the quality of video taken while on my motorcycle rides to be pretty good, but I'm not sure what the result would be from a mountain bike. It surely couldn't be any worse than a helmet mount. @monkeyboy: The knob came from a Flip Action Mount accessory.

It looks nicer than the one in the tutorial you linked to. How good is the vibration dampening on the mount? I plan on making one for my mountain bike. Where did you buy the threaded knob?

Once I add another something to the bike (GMRS, perhaps) I'll definitely need a better solution than an $8 mount made of PVC pipe. @irondad: Not too hard. The camera comes with some software pre-installed, which you can use to grab still frames. Alternatively, you could also do it with Windows Movie Maker and iMovie, or any decent video editing software. @tedder: Those RAM mounts look nice, but I’m not sure I’m ready to take the plunge just yet.

I suppose there's software for everything. I've spent so much time concentrating on riding I'm a little behind on some of the other stuff. How hard is it to get “stills” from the video?
