Just picked up a Contour ROAM 1080p camera for $100 incl a bunch of accessories. Slapped it on my helmet and took some video yesterday of my ride home from work. Unfortunately my ride home isn't very exciting (even worse when you take the highway - 30 minutes and 7 turns!) so I cut out the REALLY boring bits and only left the kind of boring bits lol. I need a wind foamy because the wind noise on this thing is bad at speed, so I overlayed it with a song. Lemme know what you all think. Remember - switch your quality on the player to 1080!

 

Nice ridin' bro, it's always more pleasant to go to work via the country roads. that's one heck of a sweet bike you've got there. good stuff

 

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, SB

 

nice vid mate, looks good quality too.
You going to be doing a few videos now or is it just for occasional use?

I've got my self one of them keyfob cams, i've not mounted it to my bike yet but i've done some vids with it in my helmet.

 

Thanks guys.
Dave - I wear it all the time now. Lots of bad drivers here so it's to protect myself from liability. HOPEFULLY I will get into the twisties tomorrow, so I'll have some more video.

 

Nice one
I hope to get on the twisties soon for a run with a few mates but i have snow, a lot of snow here at the minute

Once i mount mine i plan to have it running all the time too. I can set it to loop the card when its full and i've put a usb charge socket on to charge as i record.

 

Nice vid! I'll have to add one of these cameras to my wish list now, it takes some good quality footage.

How is that 150 rear tire working for you handling-wise? I was thinking about doing the same when my 140 gets worn out this summer.

edit: where did you find the camera & accessories for $100?

 

Thanks. Yeah its amazing technology they can pack in a small size.

The tires are great. No fitment issues for the 150. I am so much more confident in the turning compared to the old 130 battlax I had.

I got the camera locally. A guy won it but already has a gopro hero3 so he decided to sell it. Still new in box.

I almost bought this one on ebay but checked my local classified first. It comes with the charger, profile mount (for the helmet) and a swivel mount. You need to supply the microSD card, though.

 

Here is a video I took of some of the back roads near here. I cut out the boring bits again. Still very unfamiliar with these roads, so I am taking it kind of easy.

 

hey corrupt file,
what kind of mirrors do you have? I really like those mirrors and mine are just about toast.
