Has anyone mounted a camera on their Mini Ape bars on FLSTS2?

I tried the GoPro on the bars and is with all the bikes there is too much vibration.
It will smooth out at certain engine rpm's but overall it's not doable.

I have found the best location for smooth / clear pics is on the helmet. But fuuuugly.

I recently got back from California, rode up Pacific Coast, rented a Heritage & fastened my Olympus cam to the bars & got 3 hours of fabulous footage with very little vibration. I might have to fabricate my own mount.

I found another camera mount for 1 1/4 bars. I couldn't get the view I was looking for mounted on the mini ape hangers. I got the idea to mount it on my engine guard. Hard to operate with right hand,  focus & vibration issues. Still the best so far. Handlebar mounting gave the best videos.
