GoPro has plenty of stuff for their cameras, so they might have some universal ones too. Also check out the pashnit.com website, he does a lot of bike videos and has a wide range of reviews and parts links.

I have a go pro and found it to shake too much when fixed to either cycle’s handlebars. A flh electraglide Harley or a 230 Honda Off road bike.
Instead I have a mount on top of the helmet as it doesn’t shake.,

I have used RAM mounts for every thing from GPS receivers to pistol holster on my bikes, dirt bikes to sport touring bikes to touring bikes to ATVs. My guess is they would work out fine and dandy for a camera on a Wing.

It’s gonna need shock mounts if the camera is to survive. Most cameras will not take the pounding.

All the cameras I've seen on motorcycles have been on the rider's helmet.

I no longer ride, so 'yer on yer own'.

I think that is some kind of magnetic mount, but I don’t remember what it’s called.

Yup, that looks like a RAM ball mount style.

However, it might be a knockoff. Check the ball diameter.

As others have stated, due to vibrations, be it on an ultralight, motorcycle, or any small motorized form of transport that vibrates and shakes a lot, a helmet cam is the best way to go.

I’ll just pray that you don’t video your death for your next of kin to have to watch.
Is that OK?

If it’s got a 1” ball, it’s a RAM ball mount, or at least RAM type gear can use it.

If the ball is 17mm (as seems likely from the pictures) it’s a Garmin mount. Here’s a vendor that uses those for Garmin GPS, cell phones, etc., who looks to have been the supplier for those:

Personally, I’d either use those for Garmin/cell phone use and just use another system to mount my GoPro or I’d jettison them and use one of the many RAM mounts on the market instead.

Thanks for all who replied. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for using your suggestions.
