Can you use the ROAM for motorcyles? Because of the wind, is it hard? (90mp/h, 120km/h)

Yeah, you can use it on a motorcycle. I recommend a Suction Cup, Flex Strap, Handlebar, Rotating Flat Surface, or Profile mount and a tether. All of those are available here on Amazon or on Contour.com. Very tough camera. There will be a lot of wind noise in the video, but it will certainly work.

Agree with alwaysseric. I ride and skydive mine, but epoxy the mount to the helmet and use a small piece of rubber (hard to explain) to make sure the camera cannot slide out of the mount. Lots of skydivers use them..

Only, & I mean ONLY, if there is absolutely no breeze, let alone any wind. I did all the mods- larger tail rotor, more weight in the nose, i even swapped in an F45 tail rotor motor which is about an extra 1/8-1/4 inch longer- and this heli fully charged cannot over come that much breeze or any wind. Bottom line I LOST IT!

Not sure how you went through 3 suction mounts! Make sure you clean your the area of the windscreen with an Isopropol (alcohol) cleaner before putting it on. We just travelled with our 660 around Australia (30,000Km) and it would occasionally fall off the screen due to the extremely hot temperatures - other than that it was brilliant. The maps could be a little bit better - I say that tongue in cheek as some of the places we went barely had roads and were 500Km from the nearest person :)

There is a GoPro Handlebar Seatpost Mount that might be better. We used that one on a motorcycle ride and it worked great and it wasn't behind a windscreen.

Yes it is amazing for cruising around on! I just got it today, but it has been a nice ride so far! Very smooth!

Bibration noise is loud on winds over 15 mph. Not appropriate for roof mountin as noise travel. I just took my down and plan to sell it.

Yes you can fly it outside if there is no wind whatsoever. Even if you see leaves barely moving, keep it inside.

I have not used it on a motorcycle but I have put it on the side of my car while loading my bike on the roof rack & kinda forgot it. when I got home my phone was right where I left it on the outside of my car (despite freeway speeds of up to 80mph for just more than an hour). I'm pretty happy with this. (I have the iphone5)

If there is ABSOLUTELY no wind AT ALL, then it works ok outside. Or, as well as it does inside, anyway, which isn't all that well....This thing is challenging to control under ideal conditions, add a breeze to the equation and you should plan to spend more time hunting for it in the trees than actually flying.

I think the main issue is that some finesse is required to control the throttle. You have to open it almost all the way up to get moving from a dead stand still and then back off. Once you are rolling, half throttle, or about 8-10 mph is comfortably stable.

You should be able to, but be careful for the wind. It really is a great modifier though.

i actually drove it on the highway! I like to make sure the straps are nice and tight. but because of where the biycycle straps touch the bike, the front wheel is free to move left and right. but because i had so much slack on the straps i tied them around the front wheel so that it couldn't go anywhere. The product held up fine! but there was a lot of wind drag when i tried to go 60 MPH. not good for fuel economy. I would not recommend going over 60 MPH.

In the highest power mode it SHOULD be able to but you would probably be operating at half its top speed on flat and run out of power pretty quickly (maybe 20-30 minutes. It would probably be pretty hard to ride at the beach but on low grass it should be pretty good. I weigh around 180 and it has no trouble pulling me around but can only top speed at about 14mph running for about a little less than an hour. It doesn't have much trouble going up hills since this thing has torque for days; overall it is a huge piece of machinery, the title of it should be called "EMAD Dirt Rider DuneBuggy you stand up on"

Carry, yes. Go fast, no. My friend rode on it at around that weight and we couldn't get it past probably 7mph

I would mostly use it on flat surfaces. I've tried to take it on rougher terrains and it shakes and rattles and is very bouncy. Doesn't do very well on dirt roads.

Probably not, just OK for bicycle riding, I don't think it would satisfy you for motorcycle use.

My daughter has ridden it with a friend, sometimes a heavy friend. It carries them with no problem however the range suffers a lot.
