Video equipment


Hey what is everybody using to record video of your buggying adventures? Strapping them somehow to your helmets? I'm looking at getting one but there are so many different kinds I'm not sure what to pick. Would even be willing for a partial trade to get rid of my PKD!

I have a few Contour Roam cameras that I used to use a lot. They have a similar bunch of nicknacks and accessories to GoPro that can be used to stick them almost anywhere. I had mine attached to my helmet with a helmet mount. I haven't done any filming of my flying the last two years, so I mostly just use my cameras for family vacation stuff lately.

Thanks for the info demoknight. I like the look of the contour roam cameras better than the gopro. I'll do some research...... Appreciate it.

I just got a GoPro session 5 cheap on craigslist. I like how small it is, and it seems well built. The video quality is decent (the 7 looks even better, but not spending that much on what for me amounts to a toy). The Yi is actually fairly impressive for the price, but you need a shell if you want to make it waterproof. If that doesn't matter, it's definitely worth a look - the video quality is as good as the GoPro.
I had never heard of the Roam before Demon, how's the footage look? I always liked the cylinder form factor on cameras.

I've been researching it for the good part of a day and I ended up going with a GoPro sessions 4. I wanted the sessions 5 but I got such a good deal on the 4 from eBay that I went with it. Only 60 bucks. Demoknight I really liked the look of the one you suggested, I just was able to get the sessions 4 for a bit cheaper. Love this site and the input available.
Cheers!
