Yesterdays aggressive driving & punishment pass that not only just missed me but also forced on-coming cars to take evasive action of the idiot squeezing past me as I was in the primary position was the final straw.
I'm looking at getting safety cameras, so I can calmly report them to the police rather than just getting angry. It would also be extremely useful as evidence in case the worst was to happen and someone actually hits me / someone else nearby.
I've decided on a Cycliq Fly 6 ( http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cycliq-fly6-integrated-rear-light-with-action-camera/ ) for the rear. I can't decide which forward facing helmet camera to get.
Any suggestions or experience from those with helmet cams would be excellent.
I hear GoPro's have the best video quality but as its an action camera doesn't record in small (10min) sections or overwrite old data once full, or am I reading old reviews?
I'd previously been looking at a BlackVue DR3500 for the car but I've decided a cycling helmet camera would be easy to swap between my bicycles, motorcycle & car. The main benefit for a wired-in in-car camera seems to be the added bonus of GPS recording.
Do any helmet cams have GPS (too much battery drain?) or would a GPS file from my Garmin 200 and a time stamped video do the same job as evidence?
