Frustration sets in when riding along the cycle path you come upon pedestrians with plugs in their ears to stop their brains leaking out whilst simultaneously burying their eyes and nose into a small flat device. Hearing and seeing nothing they are totally 'situationally unaware'. Ringing the bell has no effect. What can make it even worse is they are on the designated bike path when there is an adjacent pedestrian path 10-20 metres to one side.
The diy selfie stick mounting bracket needs a bolt to secure it to the bike handlebars. That wasn't an issue, but the nut was. The mounting bracket needs to be able to swivel, which means loosing and re-tightening the bolt. My solution was to order a large wingnut from Aliexpress
The smaller Ulanzi bracket is being used whilst waiting for the wingnut to be delivered.
This raised another issue. The camera started to vibrate on the bracket. Eventually the problem was identified as a loose joint. (upper arrow in the photo below)
It appeared to be the only joint on the bracket unable to be tightened. The steel shaft is held in place with a pin (lower red arrow). However, when viewed through a magnifying glass (yes.. I'm that old) the pin appeared to be a grubscrew. Using a 1.5mm Hex Key I was able to tighten the screw which removed the movement in the joint. A result.
