28 SEtp 2019 - Action Camera

 I finally decided to buy a go pro clone.  The price for the camera and kit was $30.  Its a Vantop Moment 3 camera with accessories and case.

After using it for a few days, I have found it to be a worthwhile purchase.

Although the kit has a variety of mounting hardware, I needed a magnetic mount.

So I modified one of the stick on mounts that is a two piece unit.  One piece is the base and has the tape and a 1/4-20 threaded insert, the other is a slide in clip that connects to the base mount and has the mount for the camera case.

I had a harbor freight 1.5" circular magnet that I used to hang tools and whatever else on it.  I modified it so that I could fasten it to the stick on mount base with a 1/4-20 bolt, cut to fit.

I did a few checks to see how it mounts with the magnetic base and it looks good and seems ok in the driveway so I will do a few test drives and see how it goes.
