Just wondering how common these are here.

I was given one as a present. I have never used it.

I use a GoPro LCD. Very happy with it. Only trouble I've had- one of the micro SD cards went belly up and I lost the vids that were on it. Replaced with new one- no trouble.

Last year I got a Hero 4 Silver. I've used about ten times I guess.

Usually mount it on the left fork using a Hog Tag Collar.

I'll use one if my insurance co offers a discount on my premium.

Wife and I just bought Sessions to use on our commutes. Guess we'll see if we like it. I enjoy some vloggers like Shawn Smoak, but expect that's not what I'll be doing with mine. Mostly for personal use and insurance purposes if ever needed.

I bought on of the sessions because it was in the clearance barn at Cabellas and I had a gift card to burn. It came with a helmet mount and I have used it a couple of times, mainly to give my young sons an idea of what riding on the highway is like. I also bought it for my boat and other outdoor activities.

If I record my rides, they'd be the most boring videos ever. So no camera.
