twincle Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 The drift hd ghost is quite revered by vloggers: http://www.actioncameras.co.uk/drift-hd-ghost (baron von grumble, blah de blah, elkfazer1 etc) Also if you ring the site or watch the vlogs you can get another 10% off
sparky67 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 Cheers Twincle I'll have a look I was also looking at the contour roam

lallasro Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I see Go-pro everywhere nowadays, Lallasro Has a CAM,,, takes nice piccy"s of Handlerbars.. ) I have a siemens HD, is not so good like sony or gopro but have all kind of waterproof, dust, ice, water, shok... and you don`t need a case for this. also you can fit the camera in any position (this is why I make videos with my handlebars ) the price for camera was over 300 pounds when she come on the market but because the sound and image quality is not so goos like sony or go pro, now the price is.. 120 pounds but if you really want a good camera, gopro (350 pounds) or sony (200 pounds) this is my camera
BillyBennett Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 If you know anyone that does skiing, ask them if they use helmet cameras, because they have gotta use pretty strong waterproof cameras.

feliks Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I have a contour, but an older model, love it. Super easy to operate with your gloves on too. Their newest model is waterproof and has GPS so you can link the gps route to your videos...as far as I remember.
wallywant xj6s Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Drift cam all day long in my opinion, as I use the HD720 but will be upgrading soon to the ghost version as then can use a mike in the helmet also play back on mobile phone via an app you can get for free.
earthmover Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I use a GoPro attached to the side of my helmet for road riding, and on a chest harness for trials. I also used it in the summer for waterskiing and paddle boarding. Yes, they are a bit fiddly to operate, but mine has survived through quite a lot of harsh treatment. The helmet mount has stayed on for over 10,000 miles with no sign of a problem. Mark
j0hn Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Hope I'm not too late for this. As already recommended by feliks, Contour action cameras are pretty well built. It's waterproof out of the box and can record in HD (up to 1080p). What I love about it compared to the GoPro is that it's low profile, meaning you aren't carrying around a bulky Polaroid on your head. I always wonder about the crazy wind resistance you get with GoPros. If you are going to go down the Contour route, I suggest getting the Contour Roam2 instead of Contour Plus or GPS. Mainly because the Roam is waterproof where as the others need a special casing and also the the fact that it has a better battery life.
sparky67 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks for the advice everyone I think I'm going for the contour roam 2 better get that letter sent to Santa
j0hn Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Awesome choice! I've been wanting to upgrade my Contour ROAM to ROAM 2. I guess we'll be seeing a glimpse into sparky's motorcycle life soon enough .
