If I was to buy a helmet cam ...

[GrumpyGregry]

... apart from the fact I'd have to wear a helmet all the time on my commute

... would a dogcam-bullet-hd-2 be a good place to start?

... what size card would I need for a 45 - 60 minute commute?

if I were ffs.

If I were, FFS...

You do not necessarily need to wear a helmet, some cameras come with headbands.
Also you could just mount it on the handle bars.

get over yourself. ffs.

With androids being ubiquitous you'd think a cycling clothes designer would have an opaque pouch in the jersey arm. Slide the phone in on record and away you go, less shaky than a bar cam too.

Don't suppose you got the idea from watching the TfL programme on the BBC this week? I thought the side mounted bullet Cam on the Cycle Cop looked ok. Exercise caution because before Christmas you could end up looking like this

in the depths of winter my bars do look a lit like that!
As to inspiration for the helmet cam; that comes from getting left-hooked yesterday not the telly box, though I might now go on iplayer. What programme was it?

 

[glenn forger]

They look ridiculous, way too ostentatious.

I saw that programme, they got a bunch of idiots who looked like they'd never ridden a bike before ("Do I twist the handle for the gears?") to test that stupid new roundabout where cars are supposed to stop for cyclists.

That's why I wear mine, just for the attention. The fact it may help my case in the event of an accident is a bonus... FFS

 

[fossyant]

Don't do it.

...you'd spend your evenings reviewing footage and getting grumpier.
