Hi Omar,

you can get a remotecontrol for the gopro soon. I think gopro its the best helmet camera. You can see it here:

I'm a massive convert to the Hero 2 from GoPro

You can now get a wifi back with a remote

The shots are terrific and it's so easy to use - the new one has such a great resolution as well as frame rate that allows really cool slomo stuff.... here's something I shot last week



and here's the video that 'sold' me on it

Hi,

I am also looking for such a cam and also with a remote.

Maybe the POV V.I.O. is a candidate.

German Moutainbikes did a test of different action cams.
A video can be found here. (German Thread about the test)

bye

Sorry to leap in with a subsidiary question, but here goes.

My Android phone has an app whereby it will continuously record a 10 minute loop, which can be saved at any time at the touch of a button. The great perk is of course that you can guarantee that you get the action shot without having endless hours of nothing happening.

I've been asking about, but sadly I've not found any specific action/helmet camera with the same feature. Does anyone know of one?

Has anyone used this Ion Air Pro WiFi?
I'm looking at this as it's small and waterproof, looks like you can connect via an iphone, wonder if they have an android app also?

Can I assume that, if I were to buy the GoPro 3, I wouldn't need a separate camcorder for off the bike use? I had been considering a decent camcorder, but the GoPro seems to be excellent! I want to get into (relatively) professional looking video, and it looks like the GoPro might fit the bill.

Is the lack of LCD screen an issue in use? I've read a few comments about people recording x amount of time before they've realised the footage's no good! How useable is the wifi remote on the move? Thanks in advance.

i used the drift hd for my trip across africa and was really impressed with it
i had the mic and loved the fact i could record my thoughts. i had the mic connector break towards the end of the trip and drift fixed everything. really good support from them. and they are cheaper

here is some of my video shot on my drift

GoPro do have excellent image quality, it must be said, but for me they are a non-starter as I don't want a big clumsy box camera sticking out. Drift also provide good images, with a far more streamlined profile that suits helmet side mounting and do a remote control for switching, still photography or video tagging. That's what I use.

Several of the compact Sony action cameras would be my recommendation. They come with helmet mounts or can easily be adapted to use the huge selection of gopro mounts. They'll also run off of an external USB power source, which is how I use mine - good for 12+ hrs with a compact battery pack stuffed in my jacket pocket. I use the hdr-as30v which has wireless remote on/off toggle and real time viewing screen, external mic input (that's stuffed inside my helmet), built-in GPS and image stabilization that actually works. The newer models will do 4k if you feel you need it.
