Helmet Cams

[Mark65]

After my accident today I thought a helmet cam may be in order, any recent experiences? or recommendations?. any with replaceable batteries.
Thanks

Or a Drift Stealth 2.

I don't find non-replaceable batteries to be an issue.

Drift Stealth 2 - nearly 3 years use all year round.

Had a couple of minor issues early on but was resolved by Drift without hassle. Their customer services is pretty good.

Are the SJ cams not TOTP any more then?

Question for anyone that has bar-mounted their 'action' cam - do you get much wibbliness or wobbliness on the playback?

Thinking of buying one but I don't want it stuck to my head.

I just got a nextbase unit fitted to my car (front only). Will def install a rear setup once funds allow.

Sena Prism looks ok, I like the clap type mount

If you ride mainly daytime hours the Contour Roam 2 is an excellent helmet camera for the money. Crappy low light performance lets it down.

You can have this for 20quid.

Doesn't have any mounts or charging cable what you see is what you get. Not used it since the mount smashed it does work though.

Collection preferred but I can post at your expense.

I have spare everything after drift replaced my 720 with the 1080. 720 isn't up to it IMO, you can't make out plates properly. The 1080 isn't great in sunlight (even when you adjust settings).

What about whacking one of those 360 cameras on your noggin? Anyone done this. I mean you will look like a prize plum, bt would be interesting to be the result.

I have a drift stealth 2, it works ok, but don't get fantasies of vlogging - there is no mic socket. Expect footage above a few mph to full of wind noise. I modded mine with a soldering iron, a headphone extension and and some epoxy putty to fit a 3.5mm socket and used a lapel mic, but I'm considering removing the mod and putting the original mic back in with some kind of windstopping foam. Perhaps a slice of earplug.

The three minute loop recording on the SJCAM should continue to fill up the card. It's fairly easy to stitch them back together on a personal computer.

The biggest issue I've had with the SJCAM4000 is that if you run out of battery, or remove the battery for too long, the time and date will reset. This means that the loop recording function keeps deleting the 'oldest' 3minute loop to make room for the new three minute loop, with the 'oldest' being the stuff you've just recorded.

I have a Sj4000 cam, bought it a few years ago so dont know if they have been updated etc?

I quite like mine, ive used it for snorkelling & mountain biking but coudlnt figure out how to mount it to my Bandit without it looking like a speed camera?
