I've been playing with my Mobius Action Cam. A very impressive package that outperforms my expectations. My initial plan was to wire it directly to the bike, which would force me to plug in every time. This was to enforce discipline on my part. My current thinking is just to the on board battery with an auxiliary power supply. Here's my current thinking...
and the business end. This setup gives me about 5 hours of recording. The extra battery is 1600 milliamps. I would like to lower the camera slightly to lessen the geek factor. But then, I'm a geek, so I'll probably leave it and just ride. Here's a 30 second sample of the camera in use.

It's at least 6 inches above your eye line. It'll see everything you don't and make you appear blind if you ever use it as crash evidence. But this probably doesn't apply to you as I notice you're a long way from London.

Is that actually an issue? The aim of the camera is very close to what I see, the road directly ahead and the top of the fairing. It has better peripheral vision than I due to the wide angle lens. Well maybe not as good as my peripheral, but close.

Sometimes it appears like the extra 6 inches of height allows the camera to see over obstructions that the rider can't, making the rider's observations look poor when in fact they're not. I wouldn't want to have to convince a judge of this though. It looks like a good setup and has the added advantage of the high viewpoint and wide angle making you appear to be 8 foot tall ![]()

One thing I have noticed from going from the Daytona to the tiger is how much more you can see ahead.

Love the blue skies in the video.. I was wondering how the camera and battery is fixed onto the helmet?
I'm a bit skeptical about the 3m pads but they seem to be on most cameras so hold up well I guess.
