Bryera Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 As title really looking for a reliable good helmet cam that not going to cost megger money what do people suggest ? Never had one before but after some numty trying to knock me off my bike think I need one Quote
Bryera Posted June 28, 2019 Author Posted June 28, 2019 Keep seeing AKASO cams but they seem to be cheaper than all the rest. So don't want to end up buying twice Quote
manxie49 Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Same as Bob, I use Drift, absolutely brilliant, used to use a go pro but found I couldn't find anywhere to mount it discretely enough, on the helmet anyway .... Lots of cameras out there, have a look at the drift, different models to choose from Quote
Bender Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Love the form factor of drift but you need to go for 4k if you want good video from them. Quote
JackieOWheels Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Much like the others here, I too have a Drift, but only the Ghost X. I love it, it's got 5 hours battery life and with expandable memory up to 128GB, you can literally record it for weeks before it starts looping back to the beginning. I just set it to Car DVR mode for my daily commute to work so the battery lasts me for the whole week without needing to charge it so it's really handy! I originally opted for X as it worked out cheaper than the 4K and for what I am using it for, it was the the best financial choice for me. Like I said, I love it! Quote
dynax Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 I use a polaroid cube, it has a magnetic base, and comes with a tripod adapter, which can be used on any type of mount, i have mine on a handlebar mount, only a short battery life, but it will record while charging, mine gets plugged into my usb socket, and being magnetic, i can just lift it off when not needed, it also supports loop recording, i have seen plenty of other makes on ebay, and there are a few i would take a punt on at around the £30-£40 mark, if i needed another Quote
Mickly Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 The best helmet cam picks up the misdemeanours of other road users, while ignoring your own & only captures your heroic moments while not incriminating yourself. Quote
Bryera Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 Only reason getting it is a car on the motorway when I was in the 3ed Lane over toke me and was a foot away from hitting me it's the only time I have had a close call with a car and then he got angry after Neely hiring me and wanted me to pull over but there was two of us and one of him something did not seem right lol Quote
Bender Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Got the Ghost x thanks guys I think best quality is 720 at 60fps, let's know how it goes. Quote
