RE: Bike Cam or Helmet Cam?
Camera system installed! I like the low profile cameras....I think they blend right into the bike. The image quality is pretty good, but beyond 20-25 mph the cameras quickly fall victim to a harmonic resonance that creates a very noticeable wavy effect. I'm playing with some different materials to use for vibration isolation.

Its not useful an action cam unless I can do something to dramatically dampen the harmonics, but that's not why I bought it. I view it as another piece of "just in case" gear that I hope to never use to it's full potential.

I mounted the front camera to the same stud the horns are mounted to. I removed the rear reflector and mounted the rear camera where the reflector was. Then, I remounted the reflector to my milk crate. I think I like the reflector better there anyway.

egleaves it looks good on your bike and should help with security also when parked , this is my roam 3 this morning at 100 MPH with shield up , can you adjust for faster frame rate ?

I have a Sena Prism tube camera mounted to my camera. Takes AWESOME video and runs for about 2 hours on a charge....perfect for my daily commute.
