Question for the Motorcyclists, I plan to mount my Mobius on my bike rather than on my helmet. If you have your camera mounted on the bike, do you find any problems with vibration, if so have you managed to overcome this by any clever method?

Welcome, John

There are a number of MC riders here who can advise you in due course and in the meantime you might want to check out the following MC forum http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/

Cheers.
 
A few months back, I bought this Oregon TG camera for my motorcycle. When you mount the camera on your helmet, there is no problem of vibration as our body is an excellent vibration dampener. However, when mounted on the bike there definitely is a bit of vibration. I sorted out the problem by adding a little bit of foam between the camera and the body of the motorcycle. Velcro straps are also effective.
 
No matter what mount you use on a bike there will be some RPM that will cause a resonant vibration.
Helmet mount helps a lot, our bodies are pretty good at dampening.
All I can offer is that magic tape (find here > https://bullethd.com/en/15-for-other-cameras ) is effective at dampening the vibes. I have no idea what size/shape/weight your camera is, and whether you can use it for mounting.
I think the vibes are reducing the quality of you movie.
