You don't have to buy an expensive camera for quality videos. Consider two of these + memory cards:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X9Y2NFY/

I paid ~$120 and now have cameras on the front and back. They work great.

u/awesometographer · 36 pointsr/bicycling

For $80 and change there's almost no reason to not have 2 cameras. Been using these for a few weeks, and the quality is pretty damn good (need to upload some video, but my commutes have been great lately).

u/eggplantsforall · 8 pointsr/bikecommuting

You can't beat this one for the price: Lightdow LD4000 1080P -- $43

The video quality is fantastic, it comes with two batteries, and all sorts of mounting hardware. I have this for the back and a $200 Contour Roam 2 for the front, but honestly this has better quality footage.

Hmmm... it would be nice to know how much $ you're spending on each cam.


TBH, all of them are pretty bad deals on AMZRT... usually you can get the same cam from a different seller for less. if you're gonna spend $80 just buy this cam: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CKTTNYM/ it's the least expensive with real stabilization and the stabilizer is AMAZING.


Cheapest cam on Amazon I can recommend this one has very good video but photos are only OK


To be honest, I would just spend the little extra on the SooCoo (first link) you'll have a much better cam experience than with any of the ones you linked.


If you want I can go take a test video with the soocoo and throw it up on Dropbox tonight, I just got the cam yesterday myself. :)

This appears to be (almost) the exact same unit as the Lightdow LD4000:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X9Y2NFY/

I purchased this particular camera earlier this year for about $40 USD as a backup for my old GoPro Hero. It came with tons of accessories like a waterproof case (GoPro mount compatible), a bunch of knockoff GoPro mounts with 3M sticky tape... it even came with an extra battery.

But the quality just isn't as good as my GoPro Hero. The colors are more washed out, the resolution is 1080p on both but the Lightdow isn't as sharp, like it's a lower resolution that is being stretched to 1080p. I tried doing some color and sharpness adjustments in Final Cut to clean up the picture, but to no avail. The Lightdow has a screen on the back which is nice for some people, but I found that I never once used it other than changing settings.

For $40? This camera is awesome. Like I said it comes with a ton of mounts that are probably worth $15-20 alone (I use them with my GoPro now). But I've found that the quality is not quite as good as my GoPro. But if you don't already have a nice camera, the Eken/Lightdow/rebranded etc is probably awesome, and a steal for under fifty bucks.

If you don't care about removable battery or GoPro mounts, you might want to check out the Polaroid Cube.

I highly recommend everyone have a camera on their bike, however short or innocuous their ride may seem. I consider my camera as my insurance policy... if something goes wrong I have this as proof. I won't ride without it.

No need to spend a lot on it either. In fact cheaper may be better so you can have both forward and rear facing cameras. You can get cheap knock-offs for less than $40. This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/Lightdow-LD4000-Sports-Action-Camera/dp/B00X9Y2NFY and it works great.

u/ReyRey5280 · 2 pointsr/Denver

I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Lightdow-LD4000-Sports-Action-Camera/dp/B00X9Y2NFY/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1469032006&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=lightdaw

Including the sd card it was $54 and takes great video, best cycling investment I've ever made.

Honestly this is awesome, it's a go pro (action camera), but it's also useful as a webcam...

/u/RubberReptile left this comment about 3 weeks ago. Here's the repost:

Cheapest: LD4000 - $40 Amazon Link (or similar with AR0330 sensor and NT96650 processor). Downside is no stabilization.

Mid: Dazzne P2+ - $50 Amazon Link - Basic electronic stabilization​, a good balance between lower light performance & resolution, probably the one I'd recommend in this case. Based on OV4689 sensor, and NT96660 processor. Downside is not great audio with the waterproof case.

High: SooCoo C30 - $65 Amazon Link - Better gyro stabilization, higher resolution 12MP Sony sensor. I'd buy this cam if you want to use it as a proper action cam too and not just to document your journey. The downside is battery life.

Make sure you invest in extra batteries too for any of the cams.

Do NOT: buy any cam where they do not list the sensor and processor. 9 times out of 10 you'll get a garbage generic camera based on the lowest end hardware

I bought this package earlier this year. It's affordable, and has most accessories you could ever need (and didn't cost much).

Good luck!

u/NotStevenPink · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

Hey! I'm interested in your Steam Controller. I have One of these 1080p action cameras and some other stuff for trade (see my most recent /r/hardwareswap post).

u/NotDavidWooderson · 1 pointr/cycling

I've never seen a cell phone mounted to a helmet for the purposes of recording video, that's a big phone, wouldn't it add too much weight? Are you not concerned about putting an $800 device in harm's way?

I know you said that you don't want a GoPro (or other 'action' camera), but they really are purpose built for exactly this type of task, and I think the perspective would be better due to the wide angle 'sport' lens.

I bought a cheap GoPro knock off for a recent snorkeling trip, and we were impressed. The video quality is very good. An added bonus.. if the cam get's smashed, you're out $43, not $800, and it came with a ton of mounting hardware and two batteries.

You also need a microSD.

> stabilize it in post?

I'm competent at still photograpy, not so with video. What beginner Win or Linux software would do it?

> mass of the camera

I shot with the Lumix LX100, which seems light, but of course, a GoPro would be lighter.

> Pink forums

Thanks for that. Mostly focused on action cams but not entirely. Will review more.

I hate to spend more money on cameras, but do you think this one would have acceptably stable (on handlebars) 1080p video? https://www.amazon.com/Lightdow-LD4000-Sports-Action-Camera/dp/B00X9Y2NFY/ref=sr_1_4?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1469029233&sr=1-4&keywords=action+camera&refinements=p_72%3A1248879011
