hi, as above, can anyone recommend any half decent helmet cam or am I better getting a 2nd hand go pro etc?
Not keen on spending more than like £50 because I most likely break it within the first week Embarassed
Thanks, Grant

I use a Muvi Atom and have been happy with it. Cost me something like £60 a couple of years ago.

I've used a helmet mounted bullet camera from DogCamSports for the last couple of years.
[ I bought new / direct from DCS, but since found that cheaper suppliers of the exact same item are available thru fleabay] Wink

Been used in some horrendous downpours, as well as high winds, snow and ice etc. Never had any problem (...except for "operator error" Embarassed )

Just the low res version. It works. I've a link for it on youtube taken just after the rain when the sun came out so theres the odd bit of road glare as I head to work into the sunset.

There's no camera small enough to fit my helmet! Crying or Very sad

You probably need to try medical suppliers to find the endoscopes that can navigate their way up the urethra.
