I was video taping on my GoPro yesterday on a very rough road and though I should have a lanyard attached just in case the bracket broke or something.
Well it happened! it vibrated its way right of the end of the lower handle bar and bounced off the road, before I knew it I turned my head thinking it was the riders cel phone in front of me.
Holy crap my camera, and just then a big heavy duty pick up truck ran it over with one of it's front tires. I felt really sick.
I swooped back to pick it up before a car ran over it. I was in total shock, it was turned on by the truck tire, I pressed record and the red light came on.
Other than road rash on the case and the start button jammed on, it was in very good shape, including the custom mount I made and adapted to the gopro tripod mount. I made this mount to swivel in any direction with minimal resistance.
