Helmet mounted Video Cameras


Yea' I looked at those Bill, but knowing nothing I didn't know if I was looking at something good or not.
Have in mind a GoPro Hero 5 with remote mic.
Claviger says there's not too much wind drag on the helmet so this may well be the way to go.
 
@Paul Bryant - Paul - This guy does a lot of tests. He rides as well as drives. Techmoan - Techmoan - Worth a read.

The GoPro (IMO) is WILDLY overpriced. It was without doubt an innovation in it's day - but.........................

I run with bullet-cams front and rear fitted to the bike - as BLACK BOX cams.

Also FYI - Inicio - The microgimbal
 

Hmm, these camera's that stay level, ??? I'm not sure that "the camera" is seeing what I see, as in the "experience" of the ride.
I guess that when I get one I'll just have to experiment with position etc and look at the result then decide.
As I said earlier, I'm looking for a real life perspective on what I am seeing as I'm sliding (not really) out of a corner.

Your Bullet cams interest me, what can you tell me about these Chris ?
 

The go pro does give a bit more flexibility...mount one backwards on a peg rail and watch what happens to the rear tyre over the course of a spirited ride!
 
I like this topic. As I stated I got a Sena Prism Tube, but I knew for the price it was an entry level camera.

From the little bit I have done it is the editing that is the hard part. I downloaded windows movie maker and it seems to be a simple program to use. Does anyone have a recommendation for an editing program? Or do any of the other cameras come with a decent editing program?

The videos I shoot in my garage I use my Canon Sureshot camera. It amazes me how well it works.

Inquiring minds want to know.
 

Yes that was going to be another question, editing.
 


I'm inviting you come to East Texas where we actually pedal our mountain bikes!



Oh, and Paul, I have a Go Pro Hero 5 Black and it is great. You can turn the mic off
And the camera has vibration deletion built in, so you will not get any vibration from the bike to the video
