Evening all,hope everyone is safe,just wondered how many of you use a go pro or similar on the bike and if so what do you think of them

Andyb uses one, results seem pretty good, he has posted "stills" from it on this forum, not sure what model he has though.

It's hard to say, the models change so often,
I have the original 'Hero Session' which is a little one button cube, bit of a faff to set up how I wanted but really simple to use after that,
shoots 720p @60fps (which is so out of date now) and is waterproof without an additional case.
I like it.

only sample I can find to hand

changed up two, instead of down (not used to borrowed race shift) entering braking zone at ~140pmh

I have a Drift Ghost, quite like it although I've not used it for a few years. The lens turns so can be mounted flat or sideways. 1080p and a colour screen

I have a pair of Hero 3 blacks, great results, but not an easy shape to mount, especially on a helmet. I also have a Polaroid Cube which is similar to the Gopro session and that is much better for mounting with the same quality video.

I had the same issue with mounting a go pro on the bike and concluded that a helmet mount may be a better option or maybe something else altogether that would be smaller and more easily attached to a helmet.

Just remember if you have an incident the police can use the footage on the camera for or against you.
