Headed to Sturgis and Yellowstone in august ca anyone recommend a good helmet cam?

 

Personally I think the GoPro is probably the best on the market. They're made for sports fanatics (skiers, snowboarders, motorcyclists, etc.). Check out some of the videos on their website. When I have the $ one of their cameras is on my list of things to buy.

 

I have two GoPro Heros, both helmet mounted. Also have a bunch of hardware to mount them all over the bike.

Kits are only $230.

I'm a newb, but three helmet mount videos here:

Where did you find it for that price? They are $299 out here.

 

I highly recommend the GoPro. My girlfriend bought me the rollbar mount and it works awesome on my handlebars.

i have a Go Pro, but i try a lot of settings, i don't like the sound at all, too much noise,

 

+1 on the GoPro, but there are limitations. If you don't have a blueray burner, which is very expensive, don't buy the 1080. Stay with the 960hd. Got mine from REI for about $169 plus the $20 or $30 REI membership. Also, the video with them is like your side view mirror. Objects are closer than they appear. Bought mine for rides around Sturgis and can't wait. Leaving next Saturday.

 

Had the GoPro and enjoyed all the videos that I created. However, The camera has some drawbacks. One, when your riding you can not tell if the camera is recording. Two, battery life seemed to be somewhat short and would cut off while riding (losing good video).

Since I do enjoy the video aspect of riding so much I went looking for some other options. What I found is the Contour GPS HD. This camera is very good for capturing HD video. Plus the most important factor for me was the ability to start and stop recording and always know what mode you were in while riding. The camera offers 1080, 720 Sports mode, and continuos photo mode. Battery life is good and you have the ability to use your smart phone as a viewfinder. So, you can mount the camera to your helmet, look at your smartphone screen and make adjustment to the angle of the camera to capture the best video. Great feature!

I will not use any other camera for riding. Don't just take my word for it, go to their web site and see for yourself! You can view the camera at www.contour.com Enjoy, and please post your video of your rides.
