Am looking to maybe purchase/fit a Helmet cam or similar, for my hols this year maybe attach to Pan fairing or where ever. Not to worried bout price more looking for the right thing. wide angle lens, be able to charge internal battery maybe of Bike. a decent length of recording time etc etc. anybody got one? used one? recomend one etc? Thanks Gareth
I agree with Phas OB
As I said in chat last night/this morning
Go Pro is THE camera
The model you choose is up to you
But you won't be disappointed whichever one you get
Look forward to seeing footage of your exploits north of the border
Excellent guys thanks for the info/input very much appreciated. Looks like it's gonna be a GoPro dont need it just yet as wont be going to far for a while funnilly enough. But summers coming. (Hopefully lol) Cheers Gareth
I use the Drift Inovation HD 170. The quality is the same as the Go Pro. It has a built in screen (Go Pro doesn't) and it's a lot cheaper than the Go Pro, and it fits better on my helmet (less obtrusive). You can buy them online now for around £160. The latest model is around £250, it's half the size.
Ha ha, ain't it always the way OB
Just when you think you've made your mind up
Then something comes along, to make you question it
Maybe you should try to look at some footage
Shot from both cameras, to help you decide
It might help you to decide on one or tuther
well on the drift u can insert a 32 gb card , it will hold a weeks filming , no different to go pro , if i film all day on the bike , i need to take two batterys , 1 battery will last 3/4 of a day , ive done all the tests on quality between the go pro and drift and they are exactly the same , but with the drift you can see what your shooting at the time , no dissapointment on lost footage once you get home ??
32gb is ok for a weeks filming? ok i did'nt realise that. maybe i'll just take 2 or maybe 3 cards theres a lot of good roads north of the wall lol. i plan to get over to that shop in chiswick and invest some of me hard earned in a camera thank. Gareth
Thanks for all the info Buzz
I'm sure OB and a few others will be making vids now
Maybe have a special section or "Thread" for new vids
Either way I'm looking forward to seeing some footage
And maybe add some myself
i too use a drift stealth , it has a rotatable lens, so its easy for me to set up the 'horizon' while its on a mount on the bike, as can see if level on the led screen
But for those people who haven't got the cash to splash guys ... there are some really good priced cameras which will do a similar job for next to nothing ..I have a couple of cameras that i use and both of them did not cost more than £50 .. there are lots on the good old ebay and the other selling sites ...so dont be put off by the prices ..this is the way to go me thinks if you want to give it a go ..and if its not for you ....your not stuck with an expensive bit of kit laying around doing nothing ...I will put some of my footage on at some point as a comparison to the Big Buck Bailey's out there ....
Any of these will do the job
Not quite the same quality or capacity of the "top" brands
But good enough for a record of your ride

I'm sure you'll find something to suit your purpose and pocket from these
Not had a chance to test it yet Malc
But I'm sure it'll do the job for rides and track days
And I daren't tell you what I paid for it
Let's just say it was a "steal"
A pricing mistake by the seller had a flood of orders for em
They were so cheap that some folk bought 5
I too will post some footage, once I've "Christened" it
