    3+ black with a Wasabi extended battery. On a proshot chinbar mount.


    I usually only shoot in 720/60 and I don't use the remote at all so I could have gotten a lower model, but my local shop was blowing them out so I got a great deal on it.

    Hearing great things about Garmin helmet cam. Even has the overlay and speed.

    I'm using the new go pro session because I want it mounted under my visor. I don't ever remember to actually bring it with me though...

    I heard good things about the session but who knows. I'll have to check the garmin out. My go pro froze trying to the my first race a few years back. Major bummer haha I definitely would like to start getting some footage but we'll see

    GoPro 1&4 silver still working fine. The 4s touch screen and app is a bonus. The 4 needs a very fast card, 80mbps to do 4k.
    Helmet cams are banned for mx racing events here in Oz. Even an empty helmet mount... WT.. BS

    I use a Hero Session. The first memory card was a cheap and didn't work well. I got a "good" one and it has been great. I even accidently ran it through the washing machine once and it still works fine.

    I'm using a Hero 3+ with the remote and the add -on monitor screen. I often just use the camera alone though.

    GP4 Silver and same setup as gots_a_sol except l run mine on 1080 Wide 60fps with, at times, Protune which drains the battery a bit, got a remote but either forget to charge it or take it.
    Proshot attachment is the IMO, the best attachment - looks dorky but the footage is great!!

    Wow the Garmin helmet cam looks like "the gear"
    Must use the GPS for speed/altitude overlays. Stabilizer too.
    Nice

    i just went from a 3 black to a 5 black - i like how the 5 doesnt need a cover to be waterproof. the contrast on the 5 seems alot better.
