Advice on decent handlebar camera and mount?

Lambay island

Hi.

Not looking to spend huge money here but at same time don't want something that has poor pic quality and not fit for job. Any advice is welcome. Commuter cyclist on a hybrid.
Thanks

GoPro Session 4.

SJCAM SJ4000 but make sure it's an original SJCAM and not a knock off.

Half the price of the Gopro and has all the accessories included (all Gopro compatible) but for a better mount get the K-edge Out Front Gopro mount.

Seconded. Comes with all the appropriate attachments and then some too. Have the exact set up you describe and pic quality is great.

Thanks all - SJCAM sounds like my man

the K edge out front is fantastic, although I prefer to mount a camera on the back

K-Edge is solid and there is no real vibration on the video. I use a GoPro Hero+ LCD.

Same here - I have the dual gopro/garmin mount. Great product, easy to fit. No complaints. Neat and tidy.

Just remember to change whic way is 'Up' on your GoPro

They have one of them too - fits under the saddle

You can get those mounts way cheaper. I've had one similar to this for a long time now, in daily use:

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Aluminum-Bicycle-Saddle-Rail-Camera-Bike-Seat-Mount-For-GoPro-Hero-2-3-3-Plus-4-/282067968736

It works well, and is far cheaper than the k-edge, which I think was almost €50. I doubt there is a huge quality change between the k-edge and the no name versions.

You're probably right. BTW I got a phishing warning from that link.

It's just ebay.ie, it was a messy link directly from ebay but I've cleaned it now.

I had a cheaper version of the rear k-edge off ebay and that snapped on one of the parts that attaches to the seat rail. The k-edge (front & back) is expensive but the best imo
