I like the continuous loop recording.</p> <p>The Contour Roam Plus has a bluetooth antennae in it so that it can speak to your phone. The integration of GPS data with video and sound would be excellent, recording rider speed, acceleration etc. Would help to calculate if vehicles captured in the footage were speeding. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11209#post-126152 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 23:35:04 +0000 Snowy 126152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not sure I'd want a spikey box like that on my handlebars if there was any chance I might be going over the handlebars in an accident. Just sayin'... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11209#post-126109 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:24:14 +0000 Kenny 126109@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Seems incredibly cheap. Maybe it's good value for money. I do have to agree with rust though from looking at the video quality; it's poor. If that's what they claim is 1280 x 720, then they might as well stop right now. I'm hoping the video is reduced in quality after uploading to vimeo, and that the original is vastly better. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11209#post-126054 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:57:16 +0000 rust 126054@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Check the video quality though - it's alright, but needs to be pretty straight on and close to pick out number plates. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11209#post-126051 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:45:16 +0000 twq 126051@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's quite a good price too, considering my helmet cam &amp; mount came to about £150. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11209#post-126047 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:22:56 +0000 SRD 126047@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>rather cool kickstarter: <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rideye/rideye-the-black-box-camera-for-your-bike" rel="nofollow">http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rideye/rideye-the-black-box-camera-for-your-bike</a></p> <p>I just wonder how its impact detection would deal with Edinburgh potholes... </p>
