Handlebar mounted camera?

[Sara_H]

As a non helmet wearing cyclist, I am considering a handlebar mounted camera - any recommendations?

Also, would be good if said camera could double up a a car dashboard camera.

go pro would be my suggestion.

K-Edge do some great quality mounts for the go pro

. I personally run the go pro remote control on the handle bar mount shown above an wear the camera on a chest mount. This enables me to switch it from photo to video mode easily and safely.

The photos you get with this setup are similar to this.

The go pro has a great selection of mounts and is widely used in motor sport, its a great little camera, specially the hero 3 black edition

Those gopros's look a bit in your fce. Is there anything more discreet?

There is the Contour range of camera's which I have one but to be honest they do not have the range of mounts or flexibility of the go pro from my experience.
I don't think the Contour makes a particularly good car/dash camera either

Another vote for go pro. They are FAB.
