Recommend helmet Cam?

[Just Dan]

Hey, I'm looking to get back on the road after some plank in a car hit right into me (His Fault) After an on going Battle between who's fault it is (He admitted on scene and to a police officer it was his fault he did not see me) I wanted to get back on the road.

In case this happened again I was wondering were would be the best place to get a helmet cam need's to be cheapish as I'm on a Budget seems as my compensation isn't looking like its coming any time soon.

Thanks in Advance.
Dan

For that budget, you'll have to either be very lucky or very patient to find anything in roadworthy condition.

TBH instead of a cheap helmet cam, I'd go to somewhere like Cash Converts and get a cheap used compact camera with a standard tripod mount thread and either bodge or buy a helmet mount.

I use my old Pentax Optio clamped to a spare mount from a Vivitar DVR480. The DVR480 is a good cheap tail-cam, but tends to be blurry when helmet mounted.

I have an HD 808 #16 with the wide lens that I use on my helmet (one of those remote keychain camera thing). It has a decent image and you can find one easily around 20-30 quid.
Battery life is around 40-45 min when recording.

It's not waterproof but I've been under the rain with it without problem (except the water on the lens obviously)

They're out there, just look hard.
I bought a G reg RXS100 non-runner a few years ago for 70, spent 10 on a new exhaust, and it ran just fine, welded up a bit of swingarm rot, and it was MOT'd.

For the action cam, try looking at an sj4000
on eBay.

About £60 with all the extras you will need.

Check out the Mobius ActionCam. It's a great little action camera that can be found on Ebay for £60 or less. Look it up on YouTube, its quality is great!

You can probably pick up a really shit 125 for that kind of money, something that will need money spending on it anyway

Better off getting about £700, you can get a decent CG for that

You can get an OK CG for like £500 if you're lucky

I forgot to add, the Mobius should fit on most helmet mounts. You can find mounts on Amazon

The SVC200 has a good review: https://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/11/10/svc200-is-the-best-100-action-camera-ive-found-so-far.html

If anyone can better that for quality, looks and price, please let me know. I've been waiting for about 6 months for something to beat it...
