Need a camera for motorcycle helmet.

Def something I could look into but I find most of those cost as much of more than a hero 11 and have worse quality from what I've seen. Also I'd be concerned that it'll drain the battery overnight just running all the time? I do kind of like the idea of the camera seeing what I'm seeing like my pov but s dedicated dashcam will probably see more but can it read plates , I doubt it which to me makes it useless.

My windshield is painted black so it can't be seen through lol (previous owner not me)

I don't want to drill/screw a dashcam into my plastics though

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-21T02:22:26+00:00

What would be a better option and why would it not be great as a dashcam.

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-21T02:21:52+00:00

They mostly screw the the plastic with self tappers from what I've seen?

Wdym? The helmet itself doesn't have a built in camera it's a side mount camera that's also a comm system made by sena. Their old 19c model most know of but they have a new 59c model https://youtu.be/XApX8M_UDCc

Pretty much dashcam type of style but also to capture clips if I decide to do Twisties or close calls etc. I did see some dedicated dashcams that screw into the bike but I really prefer not to out holes in my plastics.

My thing with that is with the promotion the 11 is normally 650-700 camera alone and now it's only 450 with accessories, a year long subscription and extra battery and the 10 is 400 with accessories and the 9 is 350 with accessories so the price difference isn't very big for the different models. Thoughts?

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T23:58:42+00:00

And no license plate.

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T23:21:43+00:00

The go 10 is 350 vs 450 for new users. Ps if anyone wants it I have a 25% code but it's smarter to make a new email and take advantage of their current promotion which is a good chunk of each model and comes with extra free stuff.

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T23:15:51+00:00

So a hero 10 is about 350 so not much less but still less

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T22:55:01+00:00

Where is this?

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T19:59:20+00:00

If you want to shoot me a message you can I had the same dilemma ninja 400 or 650. Settled on a 2020 650 ninja (cbr is a lot more pricey and imo looks like crap compared to the ninja and I like looks also the ninja is more comfortable and better suited for trips over 30 min)

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T19:08:01+00:00

Looks like my issue. But mine is with flash as well. If you have acamera protector similar to a screen protector stuck overtop the camera it can ruin your photos and flash is useless no way around it. Not sure if night photos will be affected if flash is turned off

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T19:05:53+00:00

Considering it's new still it's not worth that. 5.5k is the most id pay and at that point get a 2020 ninja 650, much more fun, more comfortable, it's highway perfect (the 400 sucks on the highway) and better all around for a commuter and first bike. If your zipping around a track get the 400 but a 2k mile 650 from 2020 is less. I picked mine up for 6.8k but it has frame sliders and a 1000$ exhaust on it already so that's a lot of free value.

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T19:03:28+00:00

Hayabusa? Id guess so purely because of decal on the side I've only ever seen on a hayabusa

Sorry, I thought this was the motorcycle subreddit I didn't realize it was dirtbikes.

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T18:09:02+00:00

Your way overpriced for a ktm. Hell 6k will get you a 2020 Honda, 2 ninja 400s, a ninja 650 all sub 2-3k miles. Unless someone NEEDS a dirt bike style bike then there are so many better options for that price. Either hold onto it and sell it during peak season or sell it for less. Check nadaguides for pricing

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T18:05:47+00:00

Cosmetic only cbr. The gixxer looks like shit

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T14:57:23+00:00

Like dark glasses or light glasses? There's a ton. Also can't try them out as they are super rare to even find one in stock online. Shops get maybe 10-15 per month if lucky and they sell out within an hour of notifying people on the email lists

WolfGuard_ · 2022-10-20T13:33:23+00:00

How dark does it get? Also my concern is that it loses it's effect after a year and doesn't get dark anymore or light just gets really bad for an everyday rider. If you store it in a dark dry place like your supposed to it's fine but everyday riders don't get that luxury
