Dual purpose helmet and car dash camera - Suggestions?

[Tommyboy1289]

They are good and much the same functionality as the mini cam that I have but it's the sheer bulk of the go pro or its clones that I don't like which is why (as well as cost) I chose the more discreet camera for myself. I've seen cyclists with the helmet mounted go pro and it just looks odd to have such a big lump of a camera stuck on top of the helmet imo.

Must admit I do have to agree regarding the size of the unit, once you've got over the fact you look strange you don't even notice it's there, they weigh next to nothing which is quite a suprise considering their abilities, but then you could always use the handlebar or chest mount, the biggest downside to them is the battery life.

don't wear this for diving though. when you roll off the boat it will fall off and you will lose the go pro . it wasn't me and we did have a good laugh .

Here is the sample footage I was referring too, I've just got one of those trailgators for the little one so strapped the camera on for the test run. Make sure its playing in max quality though

Which is why I got one of these, couple up a usb lead and the battery lasts over six hours. http://www.amazon.co.uk/JETech-2-Ou...=1459665866&sr=8-12&keywords=usb+battery+pack
