Could this be used for a bike cam? Either mounted to the handlebars or helmet?

I'm sure there is a way to do this but you will face two challenges. 1) Is the included mount is suction cup only so you will have to modify the mount in some way. 2.) The internal battery will only last a maximum of about 30 minutes so you need to take short trips or find a way to charge it.

I think it could be. It's the size of a credit card. I'm not sure if it would hold up to the abuse though and you would need to retrofit to attach to the bike or helmet.

First you need to provide 12 volts DC continuous power. Second, it may mimic a crash situation with the bumpy ride and lock in all those videos. Good luck.

Don't know for sure about bike or helmet, but we live on a dirt road and the Cobra records with excellent clarity, even with the rough road.

I would say so. Its is cheap enough to buy it and jimmy it on. Be careful tough because when I installed my mount to my motorcycle/dirtbike, the threads that the nut fits into cracked and now it rely on a hose clamp. I only mention because a ski pole probably receives the same if not more vibration and shaking than my dirt bike. So your camera might not hold on to the mount itself sufficiently.

I'm not sure this is the right tool for the job. The camera is very small. Mine is used in my car to record traffic. Some are used in sports to record the ride. For your purpose, a traditional hand-held camera would probably work better.

Probably not without some work and/or luck. The mount provided is for use on handlebars. Unless your helmet has some sort of ventilation ribs that are on the forward part of the helmet and are perpendicular to the front of the helmet, you are out of luck. I imagine if you are a handy type of person you could rig something up to work but I would recommend looking at another product if you want to mount it on your helmet.

used for a road motorcycle helmet... possible, they have a flat disc you can get to give it a better securement, dirt bike... not a chance

I've used it on a bicycle - no reason you couldn't use it on a motorcycle if the handlebar (or other mount point) has the right diameter. It's a very secure mount in any case.

It would work for video. The distance between the subject and reflector matters, not the camera and reflector

Yes. It comes with lots of mounting hardware, for almost any location. Primarily for the handlebars, but can be mounted on helmets and goggles too.

Its not designed for being mounted on the handlebars.. But I imagine you can buy an adapter at a hardware store or find any other creative solution..

Hello Janet. I would not trust it. Although it is made of metal and quite sturdy, made well. I don't thing it would exert enough clamping force to withstand the wind upon it at high speeds. It worked on the visor of my baseball cap I was wearing but I was very careful of how quickly I turned my head for fear of the weight of the camera pulling it off. I would definitely use a lanyard fixed to something stationary on the bike and connected to the camera should it pull free but there has to be a better product out there for the application you're attempting to use it.

I don't think you'd get much usable video if the cam was on the dash. I have mine mounted high up on the windshield and it seems to be the best spot for it.

I'm sure you could. the case has a little clip on the side for securing it to a divin mask. I might add a velcro strap or wire tie to it to make sure it is more secure since the clip isn't really made for the movement and jostling you would get on a motorcycle. Also, though it is marketed as an HD camera, it really isn't. The quality is not that great but for the price it is still a nice little unit.

It has threaded mounts on top and bottom that are compatible with a regular camera tripod. With a little creativity you could mount it to a bicycle helmet. the problem would be the control buttons are on the back of the camera.

Float, yes. Bike, no. The clamp is long enough to magnify the vibrations of the bike as well as every bump on the road and wind gusts; unless the road, engine, and wind is exceptionally smooth, the video might be too shaky to be much good. Get a roll bar clamp or a helmet mount instead. One plus point, though, is it's easy to attach / detach and orient, so it'll give you a better chance to try out different perspectives quickly instead of a long stop to unscrew/screw multiple attachments, and the clamp can hold onto most places - handlebars, leg guards, grabrail, more.

I think it would be too heavy for a GoPro. There are other smaller steady cam units available that would suit a GoPro better in my opinion.

Yes. I use this on a street bike, easy to aim, water proof, and easy uploads of video. Use class 10 memory cards. and buy extra batteries.

It could be but you would probably have to turn it sideways. A headlight lamp would be a better option. Planet Bike Blaze 1/2-Watt LED Bicycle Light with Helmet and QuickCam Mounts:Planet Bike Blaze 1/2-Watt LED Bicycle Light with Helmet and QuickCam Mounts
