I have been using these inexpensive body cameras on every commute for the past two years, except when it’s raining because they are not waterproof. I have tried different mounting points on the bike and also a chest camera mount. Over the past 2 months I have been trialling them mounted on the helmet with adhesive GoPro mounts. This seems the most convenient and delivers the best video footage. What do you think?

They’re massive and not waterproof, but if they work for you, stick with them. Personally I’d get cheap ‘4K’ cameras online or used GoPros off ebay and just have the forward facing one one the helmet and one under the seat.
How do you keep engaging with something you appear to be terrified of doing?
My neck is getting sore just looking at this.
If you land on the back of your head that could really injure you.
This seems excessive imo. These dont do anything to prevent accidents, rather after the fact if an accident did happen.
While it would be helpful to have the footage if I did get into an accident, im not sure what I would do with it after the fact, because that would require me either suing this person or pursuing legal action, which who knows what would happen.
Also I would hate having to charge even more shit, or tinker with more shit before riding my bike. I just wanna ride my bike without having to gear up like im going to war.
Love it! Be ‘that cyclist’ who calls out the bad actors and make them accountable.
Remember, always post the license plate number on the YouTube video title so when the insurance companies are doing their renewal searches, it pops up.
