Making a universal camera mount from a set of locking grips

Mole Grips are pretty awesome. They will attach to almost anything, have simple adjustment and quick-release via a simple lever. If you add a camera clip, then you have an adjustable universal camera mount - sweet!

Here they're clamped onto bike handlebars - handy.

To attach the clip, a hole was drilled into a pair of cheap grips.

A corresponding hole was also drilled in a Go Pro mounting bracket and a self-tapping screw threaded through into a section of nylon cylinder, acting as a locking nut (below)

Crude, but effective. This mount allows you to clamp onto almost anything.
