Helmet Cam, which one is the best?

[Scott Hogan]

I"m looking to buy a helmet cam but don"t really know much about them. Anyone have any tips before I buy one?Hoges

How will you attach it to your helmet?

[Scott Hogan]

100mph tape of course! What do you reckon? What sort of resolution do these cams have tho? They"re pretty shiny too.How much faster will I go Graeme?

I have a Gopro. brilliant little unit. You need to note a couple of things. When you got the camera you should have recieved an orange rupper looking type of bunjy strap - This stops the annoying clicking in the sound from the housing. Also, if you fly at altitude i.e. from the coast to Armidale etc. the housing will fog up badly and ruin your video. Use the open back on the housing - it will give you more wind noise but the video will be clear.Gordo

Been researching cams a bit and came across this one after a tip from Wayne B. Specs look pretty good and price is not too bad either at around $320.It has the same resolution as the Go Pro but with some other nice features like a remote control for ON/OFF which worksfrom about 5 metres, etc etc.http://driftinnovation.com/hd170-action-camera/Anyone tried one of these yet?Hoges
