But the way out of this is the action camera on the helmet, which lives its own life and allows not to be distracted from the process of driving a vehicle. Particularly common are such gadgets among people engaged in active moto and cycling. Having come home, and having connected the action camera, which was attached to the journey by helmet, to a computer or TV, you can go back to what you saw and analyze such moments as dangerous turns, whether the speed and other moments that were on the road important.
Functions of the action camera
To choose a camera that does not fail at a critical moment, and is suitable for motorcycles or cycling , where shaking is quite normal, you should find out what points to look for when buying. Let's take the following steps:
- Battery capacity - like any mobile gadget, an action camera for a motorcycle designed to mount on a helmet, should have a good charging capacity. A typical camera has a battery of 1100 mAh, but you can find it more powerful, that's just the price for them will be sky-high. It is better to have a bundle of batteries that you can simply change.
- The presence or absence of a display. An important parameter of each camera is the weight. And the more it is, the less its mobility, and the screen adds about half of this weight, although it has undeniable advantages over cameras without a display. The best option is a removable screen, which can be used if necessary, and during the motion to shoot.
- Number of pixels. The quality of the shooting certainly depends on the resolution of the screen. Here, like a tablet or a phone - the higher it is, the better.
- The waterproof case has almost every action camera, but it's only about occasional splashes or rain. If the mobile device is planned to operate under more severe conditions, when immersed in water to half a meter, you should purchase an accessory with the appropriate qualities.
- In addition to the penetration of moisture, the action chamber is threatened with shaking, dust ingress, bumps and falls. All these moments need to be considered when buying.
- Important is the presence of the germobox in which you can store the camera, and also to take pictures of it in bad weather conditions. But it should be taken into account that in this case the sound quality will suffer greatly.
- Models of action cameras on the helmet to date, a lot, so it's easy to get lost in choosing. But you should rely on the voice of reason and do not overpay a lot of money for the brand, because at a lower price you can buy a decent thing.
