Title: cam-corder for use on the bike
Post by: cravenhaven on January 26, 2016, 05:12:38 PM

I've looked through some of the older posts on the forum, but what are people currently using/buying.
I was looking at this one: http://bullethd.com.au/biker-pro/ (http://bullethd.com.au/biker-pro/) which seemed pretty good, but I'd be interested in opinions on whether the wifi option is critical or just icing.

I use a Drift 2 - fits in your pocket. It took the video footage of last years nat rally which you can review on the OzSToc Facebook page. Does a good job but doesnt get small detail like number plates etc

Using a GoPro Hero 4 Silver (has screen on back) and nothing wrong with the cam. Records up to 4K though I tend to use 720p or 1080p and I can change the view from wide, medium or narrow and use medium. Can take single photo but never tried that and time lapse is good at the 1 shot ever 2 seconds I tried.

I have found that I do get a lot of instability issues even when worn on the helmet more from SAs poor road conditions and the GoPro movie editor hasn't anything on board to stabilise the image.

I have Wi-Fi as well and it does come in handy for setting the camera view as it's paired with my phone. I can also operate the camera remotely with the Wi-Fi while on the move if I ever need to do that.

Mounting the cam is critical and the shorter the mount the better. I notice the add showing a picture of a wind blown over GoPro type cam which has never happened with mine at speeds up to 120ish k/h.

This clip was done with cam on the bike with view towards the back as well.

The video is shot using my new Sena 10C. (I didn't adjust the date & time before the ride so it isn't accurate)
