Got a Go pro Hero 7 Black, its waterproof, without a housing, mic sounds pretty good, and has wind reduction that works well. Stabilization is next level and the reason I got one.
"The newer GoPro cameras are waterproof without a housing, while the older units require a housing. "
Glad they got it figured out, $460 CDN? Ay carumba.

Something like that, its was $60-80 off at sportcheck a while back, and my buddy works there so got an additional 17% off, That's why I picked it. So far its been awesome, I think it's worth the price, other than battery life which is pathetic. Though Im in photo/video, and it's not even the price of a lens/body, let alone some tripods I got so its a bargain
Haha, I hear you. I dabbled in some DSLR photography a few years back and then price of some lens made me pucker.Something like that, its was $60-80 off at sportcheck a while back, and my buddy works there so got an additional 17% off, That's why I picked it.

Since i'm not vlogging or uploading this stuff as content i prefer the battery life over almost anything. 5hrs on standard battery, upgradeable to 8!! Did the swap thing last year, not a fan.
I picked one up, then figured out on a trip, that the original placement was no good when the GoPro adapters snapped off.
It was above the first windscreen. I'm not sure if it was bouncing against said windscreen, or just the updraft, that caused the break.
Fortunately, the camera was not in the case, and the case landed on the fuel tank.
The plan is to drill out a hole in the side of a second case, then make a bit of a roof for it, to allow for a microphone, or charger, while riding.

Sony ASV100. Has a remote wrist band. I have one. Too lazy to use it:
Sony's Action Cam official site - HDR-AS100V/AS100VR - Support
Waiting for cheaper 4k front and rear dash cams to become available. Those auto-record if someone hits the bike while you're parked, come on when the bike is started up. 1080p is too low res though. Need 4k to get license plates.

Nah police software can pull the plates.
Leaving 4k cams on a parked bike? You're brave.
Why the top? ?all setup....should be able to upload some video later today

with the curvature of the helmet, this was the spot with the strongest bondWhy the top? ?
Hopefully Toronto's finest don't give you any grief. They seem to be coming down on the mohawk/pony tail crowd hard already.

I'm pretty far away from Toronto....what's the issue with it? I've not heard anything about mounting cameras on the top vs side
This will be perfect for getting footage of birds
Just stands out more i guess.
Gives me a bit of motion sickness watching it.
