I can't find the setting you need. And the instructions are pants. THink you would need to press "on" then "record".
I actually went and got one of those mount tools to get them really tight. Took it on a paint balling stag and the mounts just wouldn't stay on with the vibes of the gun. The wrench thing is a good tool (about £2 on eBay). You think you've got them tight, but this thing gets he job done properly.
T that's that one off the list then. Want something I can fit and forget. Might get a small bullet cam one and rig it up so it peeks out of somewhere discrete.
tried using a cross head screw with an open nut (was initially concerned that the dome-head nut may have been bottoming out), but got to the point where I was chewing up the end of the cross head. I found that if there were ribbed lines moulded in to the semi-circles where the different mounts interlace, that would stop any creep around. tried using a 90 degree twisted mount inbetween (when switching between stem and bars, the 90 degree comes in to play), and each time a different joint would slip down.
Thought I would post up the mount I have so far found to be the most reliable, its fully adjustable for level, angle and height and is cheap. The allen key is a 4mm for scale (it comes with the alloy clamp). Before anyone asks that is an R1 throttle tube which as you should already know is a little short
I don't use handlebars anymore as, on a bike with wide bars, you lose too much of the view when turning (I'm aiming for more accident cam footage rather than track day viewing). This is my new mount for tomorrow's commute. Will see what the vibes are like and go from there.
Ive used a Contour HD mounted on the side of my helmet for years now. Its more subtle than a blocky square go-pro type camera, and being on the helmet you see exactly what I see as im riding. The quality is suburb. 1080p, crystal clear, and the sound quality is also pretty good. Battery lasts for ages I also use a cheap go-pro replica (30quid off ebay) which I mount on various places on the bike to give other action shots.
I've used a helmet mount, a chest harness and a handle bar mount with a GoPro and a cheaper Apeman HD depending on what footage I want. There isn't much difference in picture and sound quality between them but I do prefer the chest and handle bar mount, they're more discreet, I'm not a fan of the helmet mounts, but hey each to their own and all that.
Still getting on well with mine. It’s permanently hooked up to the front of he bike and set to record when it receives ignition power from the bike. Only really have it as a just in case. I have the remote, it sits nicely on the handle bars. I never use it though, as I just let the thing power on and record. I practically forget it’s there.
