Gopro Hero 8 Black as a Helmet Cam?
« on: April 11, 2021, 10:11:15 PM »
I have a dashcam in all three of our vehicles, one with both front and back cameras.  I catch all sorts of shenanigans with it, including some close calls (jokers running lights, making a left turns while failing to yield, etc).   I'm a defensive driver, so I always manage to avoid collisions that would have been inevitable to an oblivious driver with no situational awareness.

Now that I'm getting back into riding (traded a '21 DWM Luger and RIA 1911 GI for a low-miles Suzuki C50 Boulevard in great shape), I would like a helmet cam to serve a similar role as my dashcams. 

I put the cart before the horse and purchased a Gopro Hero 8 Black and a helmet mount as well as a 256gb Samsung EVO select U3 micro SD card and 3 spare batteries with charger. 

I should have posted this before making that purchase.

Does anyone use a Gopro as a helmet cam?  This will be my first Gopro.  Any advice, beside riding carefully?

I don't use a GoPro for a helmet camera, but many people do.  Pretty much every youtube motorcycle video was made using a gopro.

GoPro - the standard for action recording these days.
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!
