Im no expert on cameras. I doubt any would be good in the dark.

Night recording is pretty hit and miss without specialist equipment. My contour 720p does well in low light or even just a headlight if the focal point an length are similar... Except when passing through uneven light. A lot of picture fragmentation as it tries to cope with changes in light balance and white balance. I haven't kept any of the trial footage. I have been meaning to try again with the camera bike mounted instead of helmet mounted.


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

thanks. I want to do a LOT of night riding - approx 600 ks each way (below legal speed)
Going to add some flood lights (not too bright just to give coverage)
OK with fragmentation,
want to show-
- road condition, signage and indicators at night - I am thinking of doing a report
- shumcks trying to push me off the road

Some cheap cameras advertised at Repco, about $50. Could be good for the track, not much loss if i go for a slide.

The Drift Ghost-S seems to do a good job of it. Comparable in price to a GoPro3+ Silver.

Good video showing its capabilities. I'm saving my pennies for one at the mo.

A bit harder to find over here but there are a couple places that stock em.

That is good. I doubt mine would function.

sounds like you are the test bunny, lets see it in action, once you have saved

Go, you will have fun . and its getting lighter it night which makes it easier. The pack/club/mob go at a easy pace , at or under the speed limit . And bloody good laughs with a coffee, beer or hot chocolate and chips.
Holy 12 bikes ! Is there photos ? Mint turn out

+1 - you summed it up perfectly - with like minded riders. all eager to learn and support each other. a wealth of knowledge.

Everyone and anyone welcome I am sure - They let me in so it must be true and they havent kick me out yet

Anything with a 10mm lens should get you something if your light levels only change slowly. So at legal speeds. A specialist rig like that should get smoother results. Depends a lot on your intended result. A contour or similar costs a lot more than the take and toss varieties and it is up to you if 10 - 20 times the price is worth it.

I have seen some adequate footage from old cellphones or $30 action cams.

I would say though decide what you want and but the best camera you can afford but the cheapest that will achieve it. It gets expensive replacing camera gear. Even more so if you never get to use it because it doesn't do what you bought it for.

Ta, just like buying anything got to weight pros and cons and see if it suitable for use. so Now I will have to look.
