APEMAN 4K Action Camera
Another action camera option, this time from Apeman and with a couple of handy extra features for only a few pounds more. Firstly this model can record at up to 4K quality at 25fps and 2.7K at 30fps, which is nice to have for the extra detail especially if you like to playback on a big screen. Another bonus is the included wireless remote; as well as control through the app, you can strap the dedicated remote to your arm and operate the key functions easily, which is ideal for when you are wearing a big jacket and gloves.
INNOVV C5 Motorcycle Helmet Bullet Cam
A big plus in choosing a dedicated helmet camera is that they are designed for the specific demands of riding. Being in the air flow means a secure mount is required and light weight is important, and this offering from Innov ticks both boxes. This C5 model has a Sony sensor and can film in 1080 HD quality, with a companion app to review recordings and settings. There are several other versions available to suit a variety of needs and budgets too.
Blueskysea Motorcycle Dash Cam
Another camera kit designed to mount direct to your motorbike, this offering from Blueskysea comes with a pair of 1080p cameras with a 130-degree wide angle lens with water resistance. The display screen is 2.4-inches and can be used to review your footage, while the system has a built-in G-sensor to automatically save the footage in the event of an incident.
Crosstour Action Camera 1080p
The downside of using a standard action camera on your motorcycle helmet is that they are less aerodynamic than bullet cams, but the upsides are plentiful. For instance, there are tons to choose from, like this well-rated action camera from Crosstour. For a fraction over £30 you get a 1080p camera that can record at 30fps, app control, a water-resistant case and a pair of batteries. You also get a stack of mounts, so you have the option to attach it directly to your bike instead.
Nextbase Ride Motorcycle DVR Action Camera
Nextbase has plenty of experience in producing dashcams for cars and commercial vehicles, so it is good to see an offering designed specifically for use with motorcycles. It can record in 1080p and includes a G-sensor for automatic recording protection and WiFi connectivity so you can easily control it via an app. Included is a handlebar mount but it is also designed to be compatible with RAM mount systems, and a hardwire kit is also bundled in so you can have permanent power.
