Cycle Cameras / Helmet Cams (GoPro, Drift, Veho, Contour, Fly6, Fly12, SJCAM, Apeman, 1080p, etc.)

I'm seriously considering using Fly12CE with some kind of red film as a rear camera, as it's shit as a front cam.

Is there a knock off fly6 that works?

Go pro and a saddle mount?

About as expensive as the fly 6

And doesn’t also act as a rear light.

None that I can find, frustratingly.

I tried with a windows machine. No difference.

The only good news is that it's moot, as it's not like I actually ride bikes.

The one I bought off someone on here has been used by my missus for a few years now.
I think it was originally from ALDI? It has MAXTEK written on the side. It has a few quirks compared to the Fly6 but works ok.

Hmm, sorry I dunno what else to suggest and now can't remember what the actual problem was. :S

Refund, warranty repair? Sell it for parts?

I use that although a cheap eBay alternative which does the business (although cam mount only, no rear light)

lol the dude on the left

There seems to be a new GoPro out which I'm considering buying but I'm a bit confused about how waterproof it is. The Hero 8 and 9 seems to be waterproof to 10m but they also sell a case to make it waterproof to 60m. Is the 10m waterproof good enough for swimming?

so long as you don't dive below 10m, yes

lovely, thanks

yeah, I liked the juxtaposition of the shot

My Sony AZ1VR cam is starting to get flakey, and it seems Sony has mostly given up on the action camera market (they haven't released a new model in about 5 years), which is a shame as last time I checked they had by far the best low light performance. It also had a wrist accessory for controlling it which has been super useful for checking it's recording properly, starting and stopping it etc.

Anyone recommend a good, compact, well low light performing camera with a discrete mounting system, and some kind of wearable remote? I'm guessing GoPro is perhaps the only option these days in the high end?

Bump.

Thinking about getting a camera for the back, not fussed about a light. What’s the current recommendation?

Anyone tried mounting a 360 cam to their outside of their drop bars?

An acquaintance does https://twitter.com/billhulley/status/1225457690765406208?s=19

Brilliant, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Just had a near miss from a cunt in a range speeding through a zebra crossing while I was on it. I was riding across it though, like I see hundreds of cyclists doing on my daily rides through there as it’s at the end of a cycle path. Am I in the wrong as much as he was? Can’t be arsed to send the vid off to the old bill if they’re going to pass it off as two wrongs. Such can odious cunt I would love to stitch him up through

Am I in the wrong as much as he was?

You are in the wrong and so the police will not prosecute the driver.

I don't think you are 'as wrong' as you are less likely to kill or maim someone else.

Cycliq's Fly 6 pricing is ridiculous (~£200 for Gen III version, whereas I paid ~£80 for the original version that's still going) so has anyone found a cheap copy that is as effective?

£100 for Techalogic offering...

Shit mount though...

I got one of those too - think it's OK
Don't drop it though, they break really easily :/
