Camera

GoPro is basically the one to have and you can get all sorts of accessories which is a big plus. If you want the latest and greatest you want a hero2 but you can pick up the outgoing hero model quite a bit cheaper.

Be careful of ebay, there are copies around like anything else so if it looks too cheap, it may be for a reason.

GoPro is good but it is bulky, not aerodynamic which boosts wind noise issue, has no external mic connector and creates drag if you that kind off person. It is also expensive. Look on this site especially one I linked MiniDVR HD Bullet Camera System 1080p

 

I have a go pro and the footage is great. The sound quality is good too. Worth getting the LCD backpack too. Ended up getting mine for free. Have bought a few extra bits off amazon so have plenty of options for mounting to various things.

 

I use Vio Pov daily, and it has great image quality, very flexible to where to mount/fix and easy playback features. Plus loads of extra such as 12v power supply.
I would recommend getting the HD Pov.

 

It is cool but not 500GBP cool, one I attached does same thing but for 250GBP.

 

I agree its not the cheapest in the market.
I must admit i've not compared with other brands. I know I've been using mine daily for the past 2 years with no probs.

 

Size wise the cheaper one is better as it is more square, picture wise they have near identical spec but never seen comparison footage from both.

Yes they are bulky but it all depends on what you want to do with it.

The Gopro is used in the production of many TV programmes. Enough Said?

Also the Contour HD is worth looking at but the picture quality is not quite as good in my eyes. My mate has both as the Contour is for helmets etc as its much smaller and the usual bullet format.

Im going to borrow my mates Gopro for a ride with a chest cam soon and I cant wait.

 

Freshage had a ride with chest strap I think. He posted it on you tube, silly him

 

Well at 215 for HD one I would go with bullet cam but as you can see for me it is all about the shape, GoPro is ugly and you can not hide it. Bullet cam is easy to hide.

 

I agree with you but when i saw the quality of the footage and all the extras you can get its a gopro for me.

Here is a link to a chap my friend bought his from and he is full of praise for the seller. He was also recommended and has sold nearly 1000 of them. Cheap too!

Go pro seems to offer best pic at that money, although the Drfit HD may be an option and more alike a traditional bullet cam. I have the non HD and its ok

 

Contour GPS for me.

Got it mounted to the upper fork leg.
