    Helmet/bike camera

    I'm looking for some input on purchasing a camera system primarily for riding. Although it will sometimes be mounted on the bike, it will be on my helmet most of the time. I'm not saying cost is not a consideration but I would like to base my decision on features that would best serve my interests.

    I am not a big photo kind of rider, however I have used a GoPro Hero4 a time or two. There is a you tuber @shadetreesurgen who did a video on his camera and mic setup a month or so ago. You might check him out.

        I would stick with a GoPro as well. You have to consider editing software capabilities if you don't have a stand alone program.

          Check out this mount.
          The Gripper Mount from Dango Design is the most versatile GoProยฎ or DJI Osmo Action camera mount on the market! FREE SHIPPING in the USA on the Gripper Mount.

          Looks solid and offers good flexibility for mounting on things other than a helmet.
          Did you pick up a camera yet?

            Yes, GoPro Hero 10. It's still in the box, I've been busy with snow removal and getting my new snow blade mouted on the tractor. I'll post some comments after I can try it out. We need to THAW out before that happens! Thanks for the info on the mount.
