nm posted:California law (VC26708) technically requires that a "video event recorder" have a notice that audio will be recorded. The Drift Stealth 2 can be top or side mounted flat against your helmet. Rainproof without a case. It's also useable at night which is something most of the other "non-box-shaped" cameras utterly fail at. Contour's official recommendation for filming at night is "None of the Contour cameras are designed for nighttime or low light conditions. They do best in daylight."

Don't get the clone of the knockoff, get the original knockoff: http://www.amazon.com/SJCAM-Origina...&keywords=sjcam The clones are running outdated firmware and trying to update them can brick the camera.

Laserface posted:I bought a contour roam camera to put on my helmet for track days. It's great if a little rigid in setup. Just quirky things like Just chiming in with my regular reminder that Contour's recommended solution for Roam cameras having piss poor low-light recording is to "make sure there's plenty of sunlight when you use our cameras."

Nitrox posted:Shame, it's rather inconspicuous otherwise. It's no Mobius but I used the Stealth 2 as a comparison for a reason  It's actually a bit smaller while having similar features like the rotatable sensor and being rainproof without a bulky case.

melon cat posted:I'm retracting my positive review for the Mobius Action Cam. Barely 2 weeks into ownership, and it's decided to stop working. I tried 4 different microSD cards of varying classes and brands, and it just decided to stop working. Footage looked great for the entire ~2 weeks that the unit worked for, but not worth the $100 price tag given its obvious reliability issues. I'm not going out on a limb here to suggest that maybe you just got a defective camera.

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted: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.

Krakkles posted:Replace your horn fuse with an auto-resetting circuit breaker for longer lasting honks. When I was an obnoxious teen I'd wire in extra horns. On vehicles with multiple horns they blow notes that sound musical together, I chose notes that didn't. Furthermore, horns could be tuned back then, so I'd detune them so that even the normally musical pair would sound bad. Never blew a fuse, but I have to think I came close sometimes.

Nitrox posted:Why does it look like dog poo poo? Re-compressing a compressed source. It can look pretty terrible depending on what each algorithm decides to throw out. When Techmoan was doing action camera and dashcam reviews he always hosted clips on his own site so you could see the actual quality without YouTube's added blockiness and banding problems. Re-compressing an mp3 to mp3 sounds bad, but re-compressing from ATRAC (mini-disc) to mp3 sounds god awful because they use different acoustic models of how humans perceive sound. You end up stripping out what both consider unimportant. * Also, YouTube does multiple processing passes. They do a quick and dirty one when you upload, that's the progress bar**, and then run a higher quality pass later. Don't know how long that takes. Sometimes the pro YouTubers set a video live too early and the 2k/4k option isn't available until later. If a video looks like total rear end try giving it a day and watch it again. *: All of my live recordings on mini-disc had to be stored with lossless compression on the computer, significantly bloating the file size, because I couldn't transfer the ATRAC files or play them. **: bar or whatever. I haven't uploaded a video in years and don't remember how they display that a video is still being processed.

Bertha the Toaster posted:Found out the other day that most, if not all, UK police forces allow you to send them dashcam footage and I might send them the thing I recorded last night on my way home from work. I'd post it here but their page for reporting says you can't post it on the internet and I've no idea how serious they are about that. Just wait to post it until you get word back on whether they take action or not. I see a lot of footage captured by cyclists and they'll often mention if the driver received punishment or was forced to take classes or whatever.
