 Posted: 22:15 - 29 Feb 2012  Post subject: Decent head cam? |
 |
|
Any recommendations on head/bike cams? Preferably not too expensive and maybe something i can plug a mic into
I think it'd be interesting to watch my rides back, although they're probably boring 
I have a yamaha ybr and can probably fix it to the front if needs be, not like there's a screen to obscure, and probably better than bobbing around on my head

I bought a "Muvi" to fix to my Pan European.
Screen resolution was poor (about par for the cost).
Tried fixing it to my helmet and also jacket with equal results.
It's stuffed in a drawer somewhere now.
If you're serious about video the the GoPro range seems to be the mutts nutts.  |

I don't mind spending up to £150 if it's dogs bollocks
Thanks guys 
I bought one of those DV spycams before from ebay actually...it broke after 2 days and wouldn't work via USB 
Looks like a muvi chinese rip off actually 
GoPro looks awesome, are they all adapted for motorcycles or is there a specific model? (aka hero)
Actually hero2 looks exactly what i'm after, at a pretty decent price as far as good cameras go
Sweet! It eevn has a wifi addon to stream live, sick! Lots of possibilities with that bad boy

You need to ride faster, then .
Looks lovely when there's not much action - the 'classic' issue is mountains/hills etc in the background turning to jelly as you pan past them while cornering. |

Compare £10 to £150, how many of them could you buy? Heck, the memory card costs as much as the camera. 
I have one, it's still working (touch plastic), and the reason I use it is because it slots in neatly behind the chin bar, totally unobtrusive, no mucking around with fixings.
When (not if) it dies, I'll likely just keep buying more, and not a single moan of "Buy cheap, buy X times" will be listened to until X > 15. 
[UPDATE]
Have you got one of the models where the 'reset' hole appears to have been covered over? There is a reset switch still behind there, but the new hole requires something really narrow to fit in it, like a pin, or you can verrrry carefully put 2mm bit through where the old larger hole used to be - its outline can still be seen.

Id say gopro, i have a contour hd cam and the mic on it sucks, built into cam so you only hear wind, with waterproof case you hear nothing.
Tried to mod it by fitting an external cam and ruined it so its soundless now.
gopro is the way to go.

Looks a real good piece of kit from the vids.

The thing was hard to use as it was supposed to be a 'spy cam' so it jsut sort of had a couple of buttons and a light, that either was solid flickered fast or was off, or something.. It was shit, didn't use it enough to remember much about it 
lol I think it did have a covered reset switch though actually... recall trying to make the fucking thing work....
It's utterly lost now since i moved house, and I only got to view a video on it once before it broke, and even then my PC hated recognizing the damn thing...
And the microSD card did infact cost more than it  , but I actually use that in other things

This guy's website is pretty good:
https://www.techmoan.com/
He reviews the cheap chinese cameras, think I'm going to order a HD 808 #16 today, think they're about £30 delivered on ebay. |
