Hi all,
As per title. Ideally ones with good backup and support as well if it goes wrong.
Something you can hardwire.
TIA.

Cheers both. Asking for a friend who has a sidecar and he wants it hardwired to the ignition so it turns on when he turns the bike on.
Thought about this which is used for pushbikes:

Asked about hardwiring it.

Besides that he's been recommended one but reviews do not rate the company if it goes wrong.

Alternatively there's a nextbase one in Halfords for £150. Anyone any experiences of that? Obviously support will be good because take it acknowledge, send it off or get a new one etc.

What about this, it's for road bikes but he's now thinking about a helmet cam as he rides different bikes:

Anyone ever used them?

theres the innov ones but im not sure about support

Those are the ones he was considering I believe but had heard rubbish reviews on lack of support. They are brilliant until they go wrong he says.

Passed it on. Can't see helmet attachments though.

I use a GoPro hero 4 session (little square one) monted in front of my mouth on my helmet.

Really good quality 1440p recording, but the battery only last about an hour and a half.

I just use it for my commute to work and back just gotta remember to charge it.

I appreciate that doesn't help the OP at all sorry, just thought I'd chip in and get +1 post lol.

Cheers for the input. Something to think about because he may be able to hardwire a fused waterproof connector in.

If he hardwires a go pro or a drift as they're desirable items 100% somone rips it and the mount of the bike

He'll be switching between bikes so will be a quick connection like motorbike trickle chargers can have a permanent connection to the battery that you just click into i.e. optimate.
