Your Humble Scribe
I am interested in a helmet-mounted camera that will take good quality stills. Video is fine and action cameras tend to focus on that capability, but I prefer still images and I'd like the ability to take stills of whatever I'm looking at. It would be great to take a burst of shots on the fly without having to get off the bike and pull out a DSLR.
A remote control that I could clamp to a handlebar would be good. A camera that is waterproof (rainproof, at least) without an extra case would be good. Cost matters but I'll pay for the right features.
I do not like the GoPro form factor, especially because of how it sticks out so far on top or on the side of a helmet. The chunky waterproof case seems a PITA as well. I know lots of people like GoPros, but the form factor is a deal-breaker for me. Same with GoPro clones or other cameras with similar shapes.
A more flush mounted form factor (with the lens on the end) that attaches to the side of the helmet makes more sense to me. I'd appreciate anyone chiming in who has personal experience with a Drift Ghost or Contour camera, mounted on a helmet, especially for taking stills. If there's another good quality camera that mounts more flush on a helmet, is waterproof without a case, and with a remote control, I'd be interested in learning more.
Your humble scribe thanks you.
