Camera

[Hicky]

Ok, I'm sick to fecking death of dickheads on my commute into Mcr. I've rode into work for over 10 years and it has gradually become worse.
If someone can direct me to decent threads discussing camera options I'd be obliged.

I only need a quality level to be able to record twattery(which is happening more and more often).
Thanks

I too have notice the increase as was thinking the same.

I've been looking at the Cycliq - but they're very expensive, although they do have a deal on at the moment for the front and rear combo

It's worth noting though - that cameras won't stop the twattery.

Is Mcr motor cycle racing??

You actually need a surprisingly high level of resolution to be able to clearly see a number plate, and recording the twattery is pointless without that.

The twattery won't stop, reporting it and some resulting action/prosecution might reduce it.
Mcr=Manchester.

Reporting it can at least deal with the twits one at a time. A passpixi is also a good idea, this has cut the number of close passes I get on various points of my commute.

Yep I've been considering a deterrent Passpixi but no camera (I need no more gadgets in my life)

You should wear a jacket that says "Camera recording"

why?

My problem with cameras is finding one that is not too expensive and doesn;t mount on the helmet

The problem with the helmet is that I ride on a lot of paths and often feel the top of my helmet brushing passing branches and canal bridges
This even happens on some roads
Worst case was when a part of a branch managed to slip through one of the holes in the helmet and as I rode on it janked my head violently back
Luckily no car was passing me at that exact moment and then the angles changed and the branch slipped out of the helmet
How I stayed on my bike is a mystery

hence my aversion to something sticking up a few inches () further

But I presume one on the handlebars for suffer from vibration?

 

[mustang1]

why?

It gets more attention from the drivers. A bit like when drivers slow down for speed cameras so similarly they will give a wide berth if they know they are being recorded.

Reporting may give you that feel good factor. But I would need an awful lot of feel good factor for €650.

I've had a few spectacular incidents I'd love to have on video, but whenever I felt the urge to get a camera, the words hoist & petard always sprang to mind.
