Looking to puchase a cam to record my riding and was wondering what y'all use for those of you who use action cams. I'm down to 3 choices,
1) Contour ROAM2 Action HD
2) Sony Action Cam HDRAS10/B
3) Drift Innovation Ghost HD
Go Pro isn't an option as I hate the design of it for having it on your helmet. It looks too bulky and not sleek like the ones I mentioned above. On the flipside, I really like the Ghost HD. It has all the functionality I want but dunno if the $400 price tag is worth it compared to the other two which are about $200. One of the key factors is the use of an external mic without modifying the case or the camera. It isn't a deal breaker but it would be a nice option to have. I believe the Contour doesn't even have an external mic option but I put it in my list anyway. I know the Sony has an external mic port but I would have to mod the case to actually make use of it. The Ghost HD is plug and play. So, what do you guys recommend? Do any of you guys own any of the cameras mentioned? Looking for some input/suggestions/recommendations from you guys who use cameras on your helmet. Thanks in advance.
