    You can edit your own posts, so if you want to tidy up you can delete stuff, or replace it with the 'fixed' posting.

    Looks like you're mounting an Akaso EK7000 using some of the 30-odd fixings that come in the box. Be aware that the fixings are made of very soft plastic and may break at road speeds with associated vibration.

    I have the same camera and bought a SmallRig clamp holder that's metal and hopefully more robust (bike is still hibernating so time will tell). Link below.
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/SMALLRIG-Super-Ballhead-Camera-Monitor/dp/B00SIRAGOC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3UYZM77NRKUHC&keywords=smallrig+clamp+mount+with+1/4,+screw+ball+head+mount+-+1124&qid=1644345034&sprefix=Smallrigclamp+mount,aps,83&sr=8-3

    I can take it off in moments. And use it on either of my bicycles too which has proved very effective at showing how many people are unaware of the Highway Code changes. Downside of the EK of course is you only get an hour or so from a battery...

    This looks like a great little mounting, thanks for sharing it
    I can confirm the plastic bits that come with the Akaso camera are not appropriate for use on the motorcycle. I lost one
    A second one had one now with a mounting point on my helmet had one of the clips break when being attached, so I still have it waiting to find a better attachment method

    I do not know the purpose of your recording
    but fyi:
    Recording sound with the Akaso only gets wind noise, my model does not accept an external mic
    I'll connect an external mic to my mobile and place it close to the exhaust with some protection from the wind.
    Then I have to figure out how to mix sound with the videos
