The cyclist/dashcam market is pretty big. I see plenty of cyclists with a helmet-mounted camera, to protect themselves against lawsuits and dangerous drivers, and I see plenty of drivers with dashboard-mounted cameras, to protect themselves against lawsuits and dangerous cyclists.
- dharmab 7y agoGoPros make terrible dashmount cameras since they lack important features like automatic saves when a crash occurs. My older GoPros also had really useless implementations of rolling recording (I'm not sure if that's fixed on the current models, but it wouldn't clean up the rolling recording from previous sessions). They are great for bicyclists and motorcyclists who need a camera that will survive a direct impact with the ground.
- Doctor_Fegg 7y agoThey're also the best devices for simply filming your ride in any context where your main concern isn't people crashing into you.
- dharmab 7y agoHey, if you're not dropping your dual sport every once in a while, you're not having enough fun on the trail! :)
- imglorp 7y agoYes. For car/motorcycle, I also want external power (not all gopros have it) and a setting to start recording on powerup, so it's always on when the vehicle is powered. Plus overwrite mode, save current clip if crash, save if "i like this" button is pushed, etc. I feel like they have all the tech components to offer a dash product with minimal work.
- driverdan 7y agoI have a Hero8 and it works fine for this. Rolling recording with a large memory card means it keeps stuff for a long time.
