How to Mount a Camera on Your Motorcycle
Many of the best videos and photos you’ll ever take are while riding on the open road.
Videos of the scenic vistas along your journey, of you and bike being one as you leaning into the twisties, lane splitting during rush hour.
But to capture those awesome videos and once in lifetime snapshot you’ll need to select a mounting system that is secure, vibration free and have the ability to rotate the camera 360 degrees while to set that perfect angle while riding.
Our new, Techmount GEN4 system to do all of this and more.
Plastic or Aluminum?
So wouldn’t it make sense to get a mount that can securely hold your camera to your motorcycle that isn’t going to crack, bend or come apart on you?
Because of this our Techmount mounting systems are crafted through our patent CNC process right here in the U.S.A., using aircraft grade billet aluminum.
We are so confident in the durability of our mounts that we offer our lifetime snapshot warranty on our mounts against defects in material or workmanship.
So if you ever have a problem with our mounts, just snap a photo of it and text or email it to us. – An industry first.
Ugly vs. Clean
I’m also sure that you take quite of bit of pride in your motorcycle right?
So why would you want to install one of those other guys with those ugly ball and tube contraptions which use U-bolts?
Our various motorcycle mounts are crafted with your make and model motorcycle in mind so they will look like they are a part of your bike, rather then something that was bolted on.
Suction Cup Mounts Lose Suction!
We receive hundreds of horror stories each month from customers who have used those suction cup mounts who ended up damaging their phone, GPS and their cameras because their suction cup had lost its suction and it fell onto the roadway.
So if you value your camera as much as I do, one type of mount you should avoid using on your motorcycle are suction cup mounts.
Where to Mount Your Camera
We offer the widest assortment in the world of various mounting systems that include center mounts, control mounts, stem mounts, fairing mounts, handlebar mounts, fork tube mounts and mirror mounts.
Motorcycle Handlebar Camera Mounts
Our most popular camera mounts are our handlebar mounts. Our handlebar mounts are available in either chrome or black and fit handlebars from 7/8” of an inch, to 1 1/4”.
You can place your handlebar mount anywhere the entire length of your bars and unlike our competitors handlebar mounts we do not use U-bolts or cheap plastics.
Another advantage is that our handlebar mounting systems include rubberized reducer brushings that fit between our mount and your handlebar, which will significantly reduce vibration.

Motorcycle Control Camera Mounts
Our second most popular mounting system is our control mount, which attaches to either the clutch or brake side. To install your control mount all you need to do is remove your factory pinch bolts and replace them with ours.
