Why do people video their daily commute?

I don't think that would work for me cause of my boss screen? I have a mount on the side reflector but I suppose it doesn't show much.

All a matter of testing things out really. The 3M adhesive mounts they give you with the package are mean. I have had one attached to the side of my speargun that has probably seen 40 odd hours of salt water exposure and its still on there. Last time I went out a Kingi towed me nearly 1km and didn't knock the camera off. To bad the camera wasn't switched on...

Try it out on your helmet. You may or may not look like a fuckwit but its most likely going to give you the best view.

It's got WiFi so I can connect it to my phone and see what it sees. It comes with extra mounts but I think he's used up all the sticky pads.

I've used double-sided black foam tape from Supercheap to stick a light on my cycle helmet, seems to work (still there anyway), s'posed to be heavy duty for cars...still that light's only worth about 10 bucks worth so no biggie if it does fall off. Cool, my power just came back on back to doing stuff...

The chest mount (gopro call it Chesty) is a good option if you have a fairly upright riding position. Handlebar/seatpost mount would also be useful.

I got a handle bar seat post mount. I put mine on the mirror. Post was a bit slim so I wrap it in tape to bulk it out and give it a nice rubbery place for the mount to tighten into

Not all cameras are directed at the speedo though?

Pretty trivial to work out your speed if you have a recording though.

I stand to be corrected but I have heard that in the states insurance companies won't payout without in car video footage to prove you were not at fault...i am pretty sure all cars will have them soon

Where did you hear that shit?

[bosslady]

Well that was a major fail. I appear to have not pushed the button when I started my journey. So, I just looked liked a complete wally at 6:30am in the morning with a bloody camera in my head for no reason. It's so embarrassing, I think I will have to find somewhere else for it.

Why would anyone want to video their daily commute?

So .. no-one would have known if you hadn't told us all .. and you would have only felt like a complete twat .. and not looked like one as well ..

I wonder how many of the cameras I see on people's heads are actually turned on then ???

Well I was going to suggest that perhaps scooter boy from the OP might have been wearing the same helmet he wears for doing other stuff that he really does want to film, and couldn't be arsed taking the cam off the helmet before running out the door late for work that morning.

I was thinking this too. A very peculiar turn of events..

He/she could also have been on their way to bungy jump off the Harbour bridge or a Sky Tower free fall.
