cam-corder for use on the bike
« 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/ 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.

I use either my new Sena 10c (@ 1080p)

This video is of the OzSTOC RTE to the Royal Mail Hotel on the 4th of October 2015.
The video is shot using my new Sena 10C. (I didn't adjust the date & time before the ride so it isn't accurate)

Or my GoPro Hero 3 Black (@ 720p)
