Bolt it to a 10kg road bike with the chunky, rigid but rather cheap looking metal bar mount, however, and it works poorly.

I use one of these mounted below my handlebars to record my rides in the event of close passes / poor driving etc and dont usually have a problem reading number plates etc from the footage (for the avoidance of doubt I'm not a camera warrior, i just want to be able to submit evidence should the need arise). and a Medium is 57-58cm and a Large is 59-60cm, we would generally suggest going for the smaller size as the interior will compress over time. We can confirm that this camera is IPX7 rated right out of the box, so there is no need for an additional waterproof case. If you are generally happy with the fit, leave the helmet on for a good length of time to ensure it is not pressing in places that are not immediately apparant. My first camera died like this and as it was just out of warranty Drift support couldn't/wouldn't help.

Better than a bike mounted one as it records what you look at and don't have to battle to remove it from a bike mount. Unfortunately I never managed to get a 2nd hand fly12 but I was lucky to get a new one for Christmas. With 4K UHD video quality, seven hours of battery life, great low-light performance and waterproof capabilities, this camera is a must-have for any biker! A mountain bike with anything but the longest, plushest travel would be worse, while a gravel bike is probably the worst option of all.

Besides the narrow field of view and the consequent lower sense of speed, the video quality is substandard. The buttons do multiple things so you end up pressing them a few times until you find the right one. All I want is a camera that is "not shaped like a box" 1080p-60 frames per sec-170 degree field of view and be able to plug in a simple lav mic.

The camera's weight is very noticeable up high, and tends to drag your helmet around unless it's quite tight. and still records in two directions at once, but the RoadHawk Ride R+ Cycle Edition is no longer with us. This was meant to be an upgrade from the ghost x that just stop working (all 5 and replaced under warranty), all I do is mount them on my motorbike and only take them off when washing it, drift have some serious manufacturing issues that they refuse to acknowledge, shame as the concept is excellent! It gets reg plates in good light, I think helmet mounting helps here as you can follow the car with your head which tends to steady it out a bit. It was mentioned that the recording time is 9 hours but infact it records for not more than 7 hours.

I’m not quite a weight-weenie, but I do want the camera to be light, unobtrusive, and ideally not un-aerodynamic. Simply pack your parcel up securely using its original protective packaging and send to the address given to your RMA.

Easy to use, even with fat fingers inside gloves, the clarity and colours of video quality is outstanding. Whatever your action sport, be it powered or otherwise, Drift Innovations will have the camera and mounting system to capture those fleeting adrenaline filled moments.

I mount on helmets as that then allows me to look around and hence capture events from all directions. The lack of image stabilisation is the main killer, but little about the design lends itself to bicycle use. My only regret was not using it the day I was hit head-on by an overtaking car on the wrong side of the road. Also, I’ve since discovered that people have noted a problem with missing seconds of footage between sections of recording in dash-cam mode ( https://www. The newly incorporated waterproof power connection enhances the camera's resilience to varying weather conditions.
