Helmet camera advice

sgavan · 22 Mar 2015 at 17:43

Hi I am thinking of getting a helmet camera but not too sure which one to get I was thinking of either the contour roam 3 or the qumox sj4000, the sj4000 is cheaper by about half price but comes with loads of accessories, but is larger than the contour, the contour is smaller but more expensive. Anyone offer any advice either on these or an alternative, I think that the gopro is abit too expensive.

Thanks

The camera is mainly for commuting to work so 30-40 minutes and will be charged at work, don't need a mic and most probably side mounted. When I look for GoPro 4 they are all around £250+ The contour I was looking at is £150 and the SJ4000 is £65

Thanks for the advice I think the gopro hero 2014 is the one I will go for.

I ordered the GoPro hero, I think Kreeeee is right about the better features so should be here on Wednesday, thanks for the help.

Got my gopro hero and mounted it on top of my helmet, ooerr, and it's great, excellent video at 1080p and showing approx. 4 hours battery life. Thanks for the advice made up, just a bit paranoid and keep checking it's still there

I was going to mount mine on the chin but the curved or flat bracket didn't fit
