Same here. Picks up your voice well too on a full face helmet mounting it to the chin thing on the modular helmets.

That's a very good option.

I forgot to mention, I also have an external mic that I have tucked inside my helmet, which eliminates wind noise.

Not stereotypical Harley ...

Why do you wear a CPAP machine while riding your bike?

Good to know, you've just inspired me to purchase additional memory cards. Thanks for the info.

Is there a hard wire to supply power to the camera, thus extending recordings? I bet there is.

I prefer the helmet mount for one reason. it turns and looks at what you do. Everywhere else I have mounted it is kinda boring to me.

I use a Sony Action Cam. It is splash proof, so rain is okay. I have a case to use it under water, took it on a white water trip. On the bike, I mount it to my helmet. But I also have all kinds of other attachments. Can use most of the GoPro stuff.

I have a GoPro but don't buy one of you are planning to use it like a dash cam the batteries are brutal in go pros I almost never use mine because I can not be bothered to charge 3 batteries for a 3 hour trip and stop every hour to change them. But if you just want some cool footage to make a vlog that no one will watch I'd use either the GoPro or Sena action cam
