I'd prefer a little front-rear camera module I could attach to the top or side of an existing helmet rather than being forced to use this helmet.

Agreed, something I could attach to whatever helmet I want to use would be better, also only has 2.5hr of battery.

On note of the OP, my guess is Ironman and any other race that does not allow cameras would not allow the helmet at all.

I've no data if these riders using a mirror are less dangerous than without, but I have data that riders depending on their mirror are dangerous ..

I'd be interested in this more for documenting events should I ever get run off the road. Fortunately this hasn't happened, but there are a lot of crazy drivers out there anymore.

Front & rear, or ideally 360, is really what you want for documentation purposes. A rear-facing camera won't help you if you get right-hooked. And of course a front-facing camera won't help you if you get rear-ended.

Dual front and rear cameras are great, but they still leave a blind spot to the side. I once was riding solo on PCH, in the gutter, when a car approached me from behind, came up beside me, slowed down, and then the kid in the passenger seat leaned out his window and blew an air horn about a foot from my ear.

Even front and rear cameras wouldn't have caught that, or at least you would have seen the moments before and after. But not the act. A 360 camera would have caught it all.

Until then, yes, front and rear is pretty darn good and better than nothing.

Im curious what would happen in a bad accident where the helmet is damaged.. Would the footage be safe enough to download after or is it possible it would be lost?

"This means if you mount your phone on the handlebars, it can function like a rear-view mirror."

I'll stick with my $20 left brake hood mounted mirror. No batteries required and unlimited storage! Cars and motorcycles are required by law to have one.

Presumably you'd look that direction at some point. (and in any case would have the view of the car license plate as it approached, then the audio, then the car driving off - which should be pretty convincing evidence).

Same with the right hook (I always instinctively look towards potential right-hooks).

In the very near future, I think it is pretty certain that ALL high-end road (probably not TT) helmets will have a 360 camera or dual conventional cameras as a standard feature. And it's gonna be soon.

That's not quite accurate about cameras only helping in the direction they face.


A front-facing camera won't protect you from getting hit, but it can often establish where you were and what you were doing on the road as you got hit. For example, a driver might claim you swerved suddenly toward traffic, so he had no chance but to hit you from behind. A front facing camera can document that that was not true.

The hemet-mounted front-facing is a good idea. For rear-facing, bike-mounted is much better IMO. If you are riding somewhat head down that rear camera is going to take lots of nice video of clouds.
