igingeee Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 One of the main reasons I got into riding a motorbike was because of "vloggers" on youtube as well of being a childhood passion of course.Now that I'm on the road (or temporary of the road because of snow/ice), I just wanted to ask what the practicality of a helmet camera was?I have some slight interest in wanting to try vlogging when I get more confident riding early next year, but didn't want to invest in a camera solely based on this idea (as I've done similar things with technology before and now have un-used expensive gadgets).Insurance claims being another useful reason to have one for example, any others?+ If anyone uses a helmet camera what's the difference between riding with and or without one (first transitioning/using one).

CGD217 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I have a drift ghost HD and love it. It was weird riding with one for the first time as i mounted it on the side of my helmet due to the sun visor lever being on top of mine. I don't like to ride without it now, it looks good, it does everything that i want it to do. I'd seriously go for it, i haven't taken up vLogging but i would quite like to get an internal mic. Personally i would mount the camera on the top of my lid, just need a new lid now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to ride without it now, it looks good, it does everything that i want it to do. If it wasn't for the price of lids I'd upgrade myself as mine doesn't even have a pinlock let alone a sun visor.I guess this just cements that it's a worthwhile investment when the time is right.Not sure if you watch "motovlog's" but there is a youtuber "RoadcraftNottingham" that recommended a microphone that was less than £3 and was meant to be worth every penny.Only annoying thing about the Drift HD is it has a 2.mm as opposed to a 3.5mm headphone jack, just means one more small external plug.
