Which was great because of the wide screen thingy :dry:
Last is the current go pro I have that is a HD model and goes OK too.
They don’t like light changes so work best on a cloudy day.
oh too much typin anyway Old girl cameras can be a distraction and you need to consentrate sololy on your riding, getting bike time, letting Antonio be an extension of yourself…. :dry: :dry: :blink: :unsure:
might sound deep but I fall off when my bike slips over…… :blink: :S :unsure: :huh:
ommmm :laugh: :laugh:

All the sports cameras will be a bit shaky. The only one with any form of image stabilisation is the Sony Action Cam but it doesn’t do IS at the widest point of view setting.
I have a Liquid Image EGO and Gopro Hero 3 Black. The EGO does a good job at a cheap price but it can struggle with high contrast lighting changes that are common riding dirt bikes like when riding through trees on a sunny day with the sunny patches shining through. The image quality is not a sharp as the Gopro either.
As for mounting there are other ways than just on top of the head which I hate and wont do after near being pulled of the bike and getting a neck strain from one mounted this way. They will get hooked in bushes and the like.
This is my current mount setup which is working well.
I like the Gopro and there are a range of models to suit you budget. There are others on here with some of the other camera like the Contour and the Drift hope they can give some information on those.
Scotty , can you post up a pick of your helmet without the GoPro fitted so the mount can be viewed.
What type of mount are you using?A couple of people have asked so here is how my front mount was done. You may have to do some adapting to different helmets but it should work on most vented helmets.
I pulled the front vent area off the helmet and removed the centre section which just clips out.
I then used part of the front helmet mount kit, i also got one of these mount with my hero 3. i which I zip tied and hot glued from the inside of the vent with the mount sticking out though the hole.
Screwed the front vent back on and mounted the Gopro and its now solid as and out of the way. The added benefit is I can just see the red LED on the back off the camera which shows when the camera is recording.

Turns your iPhone into a 170 degree POV waterproof sports cam and apparently the iphone has image stabilisation but id have to look that up to confirm it. Could be interesting I may just order one for fun would be a handy waterproof case when I’m out on my kayak anyway. Of course no good if you ain’t got an iPhone. Just another option.
