Helmet Cameras

In this day and age, you can relive pretty much anything by capturing it on camera, so why not relive riding your bike? Thankfully a few companies have created just the thing, cameras that fit on your helmet, chest, or bike, so you can record your ride.

GoPros
The most popular POV (point of view) camera on the market is the GoPro. I have owned two GoPros and I have to say its the most versitile camera out there.


This is the GoPro Hero 3, It captures full HD video and even 4K resolutions, it can take 30 high quality photos in one second. 

What I like about the GoPro is the wide variety of angles you can get from it, my favorites are the chest mount, and the unicorn mount, The chest mount gets your handlebars, your arms, part of the bike and the trail ahead. It captures it all. The unicorn mount is a pole that extends from your helmet and faces you. This angle can get really cool because it can capture everything you do.

  1. Excellent photos, of course. Go into more depth about the rationale for this and what you do with the photos, or when you have time to re-live your life.
