    Well after my last Go Pro 3 Black Edition fell of the bike whilst doing a Marc Marquez impression nd turned very quickly into a lego set ,I took delivery of this bad boy yesterday. Smaller (housing is, but camera same size) lighter with a 40% better battery life

    Feck ye, now I want one!
    How does it work?
    In particular :
    • What sort of storage is there?
    • Can it take a sim card?(upload over 3g/4g)
    • Is it wireless? (send over wireless to pc)
    • Can it be kept switched on and recording until it starts to overwrite the sd card?
    Upload somethin already!

    Takes 64GB class 10 microsd cards.
    No to the sim card.
    It is wireless (not all of them are)
    It can be kept on and record in a loop yes. There are set time parameters 5,10,15 mins etc and you can also record and take pics at the same time.

    Can anybody remember when the Aldi or lidl air compressors come out. Wouldn't mind picking up a cheap one. Just want it for tyres and cleaning, won't be using it for air gun or anything heavy.

    I was going to get the compressor for 160 euro a while back but they had a recall on it the day before it went on sale. I held out until about 2 weeks ago when they released the smaller air compressor for 70 euro. Delighted with it so far. Comes with tyre pressure gauge and other fittings for balls, air mattresses etc etc.

    Below has a few test video's...image stabilisation looks terrible, not good in low light conditions, considering this is Ireland you need lowlight performance.
    I personally would stay clear.

    Has anybody else noticed?

    Ever since I got the helmet camera I have noticed when cars around you notice the camera they all slow down and generally drive better. It must be a bit of a '' i dont want to be caught on camera acting the bollix''

    A few weeks ago I was beckoned to stop at a Garda check point. As soon as I pulled in the Guard noticed the camera and said '' oh sorry must be a bit of confusion, we were not calling you in '' There was no other traffic around and im 100% he called me in.

    Ive been asked at least 50 times now as to why I have a helmet camera. I would have thought it was blatantly obvious why you would have a helmet camera.

    So anybody else that regularly uses a helmet camera, Do you notice other drivers behavior change when they notice the camera?

    Yeah, riding tips could be good. But if it's going to be stickied I think all the crap should be cut from the thread, no chat or comments.

    That video I posted has lots of it cut out. Supposidly lots of homoerotic stuff like this

    It was that bad someone went to the trouble of cutting out all those bits! Even the name "twist of the wrist" sounds dodgy.
    I've watched about half the video, some good stuff, I've learned a bit already.
