So I bought an inexpensive small video camcorder for use on my Valkyries and I'm looking for some ideas on mounting. I need it to be able to go between using it on the standard with a windshield and the IS. I shot a little video through the car window and I wasn't happy with the reflection and glare so I think I would prefer it wasn't mounted behind the windshield. The camcorder is a small flat one about the size of a smart phone and has the threaded tripod mount in the bottom edge. I'm thinking about mounting it on the top of the engine/crash bar just to the side off the Interstates radiator pod. can anyone recommend a mount or clamping device?  Any thoughts?

That is where I have mine mounted, less vibration. I had it on the handle bars, and every bump would shake the camera. On the crash guard the picture is smooth, plus a good view of the road ahead.

+++1 on the Ram mounts. Used them to mount air monitoring equipment on heavy equipment during rail incident cleanups. Usually good for  WAY more weight and abuse than designed for!!!
