Get any of the high endurance ones, meant to be used nonstop in a camera or similar. Most brands have one, this is the kind I got: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PM2VX4F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got this one for my A129 Pro Duo https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P4HBRMV/ and it's worked great so far, but I've only had it a month so I definitely haven't stressed the write endurance. It hasn't even filled up yet.

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:There are legitimately people who will take no action to avoid an accident because they have the ROW. I’ve dealt with a number of them over the years in the insurance world. They’re always surprised when they get hit with some degree of fault after just telling you they saw the guy merging and didn’t try to avoid it in any way, or even accelerated to close the gap. These people are the worst.

TBF the video wasn't graphic, there's no indication that particular clip included fatalities. Of course it's also entirely possible that it did, once the big semis lose control poo poo goes bad real fast. My understanding is that was a non-public toll road and the owners didn't put down any sand or salt to treat the surface ahead of the freeze. If 2021 is really going to be better than 2020 they'll be sued into oblivion by Summer.

As poo poo as the roads in PA are, I like having advanced warning of lovely conditions within the next day solely by noticing the salt spray on the roads from the pre-treating.

mastershakeman posted:h ttps://twitter.com/dotorii_muk/status/1359943343485177856 Jesus loving Christ. Literally everyone there is driving way too loving fast for icing conditions. Yes, maybe the road wasn't treated correctly, but you're just lookin at property damage if people are traveling at a reasonable rather than loving 50+. Texas gets icing literally every year. The allegedly professional drivers driving huge vehicles in this accident in particular need to be prosecuted and lose licenses. Particularly that Go2 guy, what a reckless rear end in a top hat. He very clearly killed at least one person himself. I hope he takes responsibility. I'm so loving sick of preventable deaths (there were "only" 5 here through the grace of modern technology) being treated as just some cost of a mobile society. There's an article talking about questions as to whether the road was properly de-iced. That is a legitimate question, but there's personal responsibility here too. Like I spent 15 minutes watching videos of people up in Big Bear sliding around on ice, but because people were travelling at reasonable speeds, nothing but a few fenders got dented. Normally, I think we in the US focus too much on personal responsibility v. road design where talking about road deaths (which doesn't mean we punish people, we just say "their fault" and ignore the fact that the same intersection has a hundred crashes a year). We only look at driver (or ped or cyclist) behavior rather than inherently dangerous road designs, which are legion here in murica, but this is a controlled access freeway with no visible defects beyond maybe icing prevention and a bunch of lovely drivers. nm fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Feb 12, 2021 |

I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them were going over 70 like you usually do on the highways in Dallas on the one day you couldn’t get away with it.

Speed is absolutely a factor, but someone in my local (Dallas) subreddit said that particular strech of road is 1 a bridge, and 2 at the bottom of a hill. So these poor fuckers were hitting black ice at freeway speeds then just slaloming downhill into a wall of existing wreckage. Intentionally breaking this link as well, but in it you can see cars driving on the regular portion of the road and their wheels are spinning like 3x as fast as the car is moving, the entire road was a sheet of ice... https://youtu.be/ cZAh 8275 dO0 About 1:10 is the GO2 truck wrecking poo poo, immediately followed by a view of the car next to the cameraman spinning wheels at like 2mph.

There's a goddamn ice storm. They shouldn't have been going so fast as to hit 70mph down a hill. People don't respect weather at all. When I lived in Minnesota, I did ice racing and did ok. I was the slowest fucker on the road on public roads though (on really high end nokians), because I knew that even if I could deal with it 99/100 times, it's not worth that 1 time sgit gets hosed. Look, sometimes you get a sheet of ice and you slide. Make sure when you start that slide you're not over 50mph, particularly when you weigh 60,000lbs fisting by many posted:

He was trying to get a woman out of a car and pull her over the barrier right before that truck plowed into them. She died. He said his knuckles were broken on one hand from punching out a window to help someone else out of another car.

i'll be shocked if anyone so much as sees a single day in court over this. except maybe whoever was responsible for icing the roads, as if there's one thing insurance companies love more than denying claims it's finding someone to sue into the dirt to offset the cost of the claims they can't deny

The last time I saw this sort of maneuver, I was watching a video about rammers in Forza Motorsport https://i.imgur.com/c0mZsSE.mp4 One reason Elon Musk has fallen in love with Florida is the spirit of innovation that its everyday citizens possess https://i.imgur.com/9mety9P.mp4 Being a pedestrian in Florida is treacherous even if you follow the rules https://i.imgur.com/C3IDHHX.mp4 Finally, my dash cam is sometimes allowed to capture good things instead of the endless horrors of Floridian drivers

My dad asked me for recommendations for a camera to use on a bicycle, either worn on the body or attached to the bike. No specific requirements other than reasonable price and some amount of weatherproofing. Any suggestions? I just use a Xiomi Yi for track days but it's not really ideal as a dashcam so I'm pretty clueless about what's available nowadays.

I have on OG Fly 12 and its been pretty great, though I suspect its battery life is waning, but the new stuff I dunno. I had a rear camera, a fly 6 CE, and it nuked itself shortly after a year ran and is basically designed to be unrebuildable. The app, unless it has improved, is pretty bad too, but you can just pull video off the microSD card. They have no competition, so what you gonna do? Go pro is an ok option for shorter trips, but battery life and lack of an overwrite mode makes it useless for any longer cycling trip.

Jeez the 12CE is like 300 eurobucks, that's probably more than he'd want to spend. But thanks, it's no wonder I wasn't really finding anything because they're the only game in town.

What about the unnoficial GoPro copies from eBay or Amazon? It's there bicycle cam equivalent? I was under impression that those are made from the same components, maybe even at the same factories in China. Also, people have been using automotive dash cams on motorcycles for a long time. Just need to get creative with mounting and waterproofing. Most common way is to put a ziplock bag over it in the rain

Bike cams are a really weird market that nobody serves well, except Cycliq with their multiple of issues. Garmin had the Virb XE which was designed as a bike camera but it’s been discontinued for awhile and isn’t really terribly different than a GoPro. They have the Virb Ultra 30 now but it has about 2 hours of battery life at 1080p, less if you use 4K. Drift Ghost X maybe?

It's been a while since I've looked at cycling cameras, but that was the best all-around budget camera the last time I did. 5 hour record, decent low light performance, rainproof, has a rotating lens so it can be side mounted on a helmet or upside down on a Garmin/K-Edge mount.

https://www.provizsports.com/en-gb/blog/best-cycling-safety-cameras I have no experience with bicycle dash cams, but tried searching for one just to be helpful. Here is an article that focuses on the safety aspect (aka dash cam) and not performance. Keyword to avoid is "action". Because that's how you get sidetracked into GoPro territory

I do have a waterproof case for it though that works fine even for diving.

Nitrox posted:https://www.provizsports.com/en-gb/blog/best-cycling-safety-cameras Also, FWIW, don't mount a chunk of metal or plastic to a foam helmet. Bar mount it. You also want to bar mount because your head moves around far too much to get important details, like license plates, clearly and can provided a distorted sense of what's going around v. a fixed camera. I consider a rear camera secondary in the US where many cars don't have front plates. H&R is a serious issue for bikes, so a camera's almost worthless without a plate. Also, generally a front camera will do enough to make it clear you didn't do anything wrong as it should track your path to show you didn't swerve or anything.

I have a Drift Ghost XL on my motorcycle helmet and I'm pretty happy with it for the price. The video quality is merely OK and the microphone becomes useless above 20 MPH or so, but it's waterproof and the battery really does last 8-9 hours. It's no GoPro, but it's exactly what I wanted for a helmet-mounted dash cam.

I haven't watched the latest one yet but it seems to happen pretty often in the aussie videos. There'd be someone obviously about to merge into the lane and the camera car just keeps going or even speeds up because they either didn't see it, or probably thought that they had the right of way so gently caress off.
