After riding this past season in Seattle, I've decided it might be a good idea to put a camera system on my bike (a few too many close calls). Washington doesn't allow mounted helmet cams, and a strap seems like a bad idea and highway speeds. I've seen a couple adverts for front/rear facing bike mounted cams, but I have no experience with them. This forum has given me some great information/advice in the past so I thought I would test the waters again. Thanks in advance.

 

There's nothing wrong with having a camera on your bike nowadays.

As for dedicated "dash" cam systems, I have the HaloCam M1 on mine. I've been really happy with it.

The Innovv units are also pretty well thought of too.

There's tons of options if you want more of an action camera, like a GoPro or the like, which can be hard mounted to the bike as well.

If you have some specific questions about them I'm sure we can help you out!

 

why the **** do they not allow helmet cams? THey dont want the cops getting caught or cathing others doing ****...

 

I suppose the premise is that if you get into an accident, than anything permanently attached to the helmet will cause the helmet to not behave as it did during DOT compliance testing and cause more injuries to the rider.

 

More like targeting the rocket bike & stunt kiddies who just love recording their stupidity.
