Look at my stupid videos of bad driving (including my own) and other irrelevant
#1
I nearly had some quite serious near misses, and I thought to myself 'If I am going to die, I should really have that on film . . . . . .might be funny'


So got meself a helmet cam. Anyway, I am still alive so in the meantime I thought I'd upload some amusing things I see on me journeys . . .

Good videos (stupid idiots, thought!)

What cam do you use?

Drift X170. Recording in 720p. Not HD (and annoyingly no room for an external mic, so no vlogging!!!) but, works well.

Thanks. I'm looking for one with an external mic, but they're not easy to get hold of, except at prices higher than I want to pay...

Some guy did this, if your a bit handy, then maybe give it a shot. My Drift was just £80

Those are some good videos, see that sort of driving on a daily basis unfortunately  :rolleyes

How does that cam attach to your lid and how long do you get out of a charge?  Thinking of getting one but don't want to spend hundreds...

I bought a Drift x170 for about £80, as it isn't HD.


It attaches to my lid with a sticky bit that it comes with, however, I have also neatly used gorilla tape to add to the stickiness, as I didn't trust it. It has stayed on pretty well in all weathers and I have been over the ton and it has stayed on fine . . . . . .


I record in the highest quality possible (720) and it seems to use 1gb for every 30mins of recording and I use a 16gb SD card. The internal memory is shite, you WILL need an SD card.


With regard to batteries, it takes 2 AA's and it is supposed to record about 4 hours in the energy saving mode before replacing.


I put rechargeable ones in. Is a bit fiddly taking them in and out.


Annoyingly, no external mic, is quite big, attachments ain't that strong.


Good bits:- Is cheap as it's discontinued, not bad quality although not HD, pretty tough, water resist so it won't break in the rain (unless you drop it in a very deep puddle)
