Hi again,

I might add that I wrap some old bicycle tubing around the handlebar and the clamp is tightened around the tubing. Not much, but every little bit helps to absorb the direct vibrations.

That's pretty clever.  The cameras are tolerant of the vibration
you encounter while riding?

Hi Dana,

I usually shoot Tri-X, boosting to 800 EI, if I have to, in order to be able to shoot at 1/500 with the Robot attached to the handle bar. In Montreal and the island, we have an extensive network of bicycle paths which are well paved and I have shocks on my bike,


[...]
I was thinking more about the mechanical ruggedness of the camera;
with it hard-mounted to the handle-bar, I would expect road vibration
to be very directly transmitted.  However, you mention shocks on
the bike - I assume it is a fully-suspended mountain bike, which
doubtlessly transmits less vibration to the camera than a hard-tail
or unsuspended road-bike.
