Anybody run an onboard cam? headcam etc

Post by MCH »

Been thinking of picking up a camera to attach to the bike somehow (possibly helmet but prefer bike mount) and wondered if anyone was using something that they'd recommend?

If anyone runs a half decent cam and has uploaded vids I wouldn't mind to know what they are running and see the quality.

Just sold a few bits and pieces so thought I'd treat myself, plus it will catch some of those idiots that pull out etc like the muppet that almost had me off in his nice shiney Mini One who pulled out of a junction without looking or even slowing down, luckily it was an open view for me to see him and I had noticed he wasn't slowing... was sooo tempted to make use of my TCX's titanium sliders down his nice paintwork but I restrained myself to a mere hand gesture.

any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated (would like to keep it under £100)

Or failing that I have a Motrax tank cam sucker sticky on thingy that you can have for 20 notes, I don't really use it. Perfect, like new.

P.S........before you buy, check if available on ebay [paid 19.99 for mine] and i think that will apply to any make or model

When I am on track I use little keyfob cameras. They cost about £9 from ebay. I used to have a gopro system but didn't use it enough to justify it.
Dynamight runs a gopro hd when he does his filming.

Just remember if you get pulled being naughty on road anything on camera can be used against you. Hide it well. ;-)

Seen some nice vids from various Concour camera's

I'm not a fan of the gopro cams I think a comment I read sums it up refering to the gopro looking like a toaster strapped to your head :))

Although the Concour at £200+ is a bit pricey for what I wanted... best rack up some overtime at work :D
