Hey, I was sketching out a way to mount my camera on a bike rim for those quick trail shots—do you think that could be turned into a stable, field‑ready rig?

Mounting a camera on a bike rim sounds slick, but it’s a real recipe for wobble. A quick tip: use a short, rigid arm with a heavy base plate so the center of mass stays low. Add a quick‑release clamp that grips the rim without slipping, but make sure it’s rated for the wheel’s speed and load. Keep the camera’s weight as low as possible—use a lightweight body or even a smartphone instead of a full DSLR if you’re going for speed. Lastly, test it at a slow, controlled corner first; if it skews, the bike’s going to lean more than your picture will. Think of it like building a tiny machine on top of another machine—precision matters.
