The quoted price includes the camera mount hardware and topring itself; the bike-specific bottom tankring adapter and additional extension arms are sold separately. See the bike-specific tankring application chart to find the appropriate tankring for your bike.
An adjustment screw is located on each of four damper cushions. These screws can be tightened or loosened to increase or decrease the damping effect.
For the best quality on-bike video recordings, we recommend using only a single extension arm (not two extension arms) coupled with a relatively small video camera with built-in digital or optical image stabilization.

Admin note: This is a dedicated thread for discussing the SW-MOTECH vibration-damped camera mount for SW-MOTECH Gascap. The concept of a snap-lock tank cam is brilliant. The overall product quality seems very good. The only problem is that the vibration dampening cusions aren't performing very well, resulting in a lot of vibrations, making the video very blurry. With a RAM extension arm installed, you'll also find that the camera moves quite a lot back and forth and sideways (unless you're just cruising on smooth tarmac).. I think I will be able to get it right with a few modifications, but this didn't work very well for me straight out of the box. It's also worth mentioning that my tank cam is installed on a Honda CBR1100XX, reputed for its smooth and almost vibration free engine! SW-Motech has a lot of superb products, but this one needs a little bit of tweeking before it's perfect. A couple of extra sets of rubber cusions with different damping abilities would be a start. An even better solution would be if one could adjust the "hardness" of the damping using tension springs etc..? 4 stars out of 5..
