I would like to mount the camera on my motorcycle. Will it have any problems viewing through my wind shield"

Probably not, but the curve of the cycles wind shield may distort the image more than you would like. Plus the camera is not weather proof. You might prefer a Go Pro or similar with its weather proof case, plus you could mount on your helmet and elsewhere on the bike.

I use it mainly in the car using the windshield mount. Flawless results all the time. I don't think there will be any difference other than the sound due to noise in the open space.

You shouldn't have any problems seeing through your motorcycle windshield. You might want to consider vibration effects. I mounted the camera on my electric remote controlled airplane and on the inside windshield of my truck with no problems. It has awesome playback video capability.

I don't think you will have any problems with the camera view through your motorcycle windshield. I have my camera mounted in my car using the visor mount clip. The camera is mounted on the far left side corner of the driver side visor and is about 8" away from the windshield. My camera can still see the full front of my car and a little more of the sides. The wide angle lens is really good fro this camera.

I have installed the camera on my wiper motor hatch cover. It is recessed and flush with the rear window. The entire installation takes tookless than 1/2 hour. My father installed the same camera behind a logo plate on his rear deck. since the round logo emblem is in he center of the trunk lid he drilled a 3/8" hole and mounted two STAINLess screws in the emblem and sealed it witrh epoxy. he gets a full 270 degree viw without exposin]g the camera to theft. You can mount it top of the license frame and still get225 degrees visability. The less it is exposed,\the less risk of breaking it off the vehicle I have installed the camera on my wiper motor hatch cover. It is recessed and flush with the rear window.

Well, I have my camera mounted on the front of my truck, just above the tow hook. I do cover it with a plastic baggie at the car wash, but I have driven in the rain and it still works fine.

The suction cup mount is very solid and should perform very well on a smooth surface. So far, I've used it for inside windshield applications and it is excellent. The RAM arm does elevate the camera higher than the GoPro suction cup mount, which might provide some vibration in extreme cases. With that said, the RAM connections are very rigid so I don't anticipate an issue with outside applications.

It does not have a dome over the camera so most likely u will have problems with the unit. My suggestion would be to buy a heated dome unit.

I live in south Florida, and I remove the camera from the windscreen every time I leave the car so it does not sit exposed to the sun in the closed car. I have had no issues at all with the camera's operation .

I've taken it snowboarding with some heavy winds, and the camera tilts a little bit. So, physically, the mount would be fine underwater because its just metal and screws, but I could definitely see an ocean current or just pressure from swimming forward to tilt the camera slightly.

It should be fine. A lens cover wouldn't hurt though. I ride sand mainly, haven't dealt with mud yet so I'm not sure.

I use it on my motorcycle. I havent used it for anything in the way of your question. I assume yes because my camera on Samsung Galaxy S3 phone isnt blocked when its in the mount. I can rotate it any direction I want it to suit me. If have any other questions, contact me at hondarider.wr@gmail.com.

The construction suggests that it is watertight but I wouldn't mount it where it would be subject to severe conditions or constant moisture, lens maintenance is also a factor. I mounted mine just inside the rear window far enough to be out of the way when it was open to load something. It is looking somewhat downward to let me see what was normally out of view and I can still see behind me a fare distance.

The field of view is so wide it is almost impossible to screw up. Straight and level, and you should be fine. Take a test ride, view the recording, and see if it covers what you want. Cannot be easier.

I have the same situation. Mine mounted inside the hand controls and still had pleanty of coverage to block wind from the grips. They have a spacer included to give you an extra inch of outward spacing. I was very happy with them. They look factory. Note you have to buy the bracket and the shields separate.

Yes, not a problem, mounting could be the only issue. Look at the Olympus ME51S as well.

I used mine on my sail boat, it was awesome. Very clear, I have had no problems. I took a quick video in the house and it seemed fine.

Looking at the one I have, I don't think I would mount it without protection from the elements. Direct rain wouldn't do it any good. My manual that came with it said nothing about where to mount it, only leave space for air circulation. I'm using mine in a 5th wheel camper. Hope this helps. Great product.

Based onu limited use, wind and brush may not be an issue. In experimental trials where I was the moving object approaching the camera from various angles, I could not get the camera to take pictures on a consistent basis. It failed to take my picture at a high rate. I doubt if moving brush will trigger it at a higher rate,

The camera was designed to be used on the outside of your vehicle. I live in Arizona, so there isn't much water here. My camera is mounted outside, and I use it for security rather than backing up as it was intended. There should be no problem.
