A bit more costly than others mentioned above, however it was a B-day gift a couple years ago from my GF and a lot of fun. My vids are typically longer (in the 10-15 minute range). My main flaw is the bikes vibrations being apparent in the fuzziness of the vids, as well as funky engine sounds similar to holding a screwdriver up to the engine and listening with your ear like a stethoscope. I've tried wrapping strips of rubber between mount bracket and handlebar which helped, but still not completely clear. My helmet mounts are fine with more clarity, but the stress on the neck at highway speeds for extended lengths of time is an obvious deterrent from use (at least for me). This 7-minute vid is a short ride on I-8 from the Jacumba exit to Desert View Tower overlooking Imperial Valley over 3,000feet below. Speaking of funky engine sounds...at the 5:15 mark of the vid, you can hear an obvious rattling sound from the bumpiness of that stretch of road. After a bit of investigating I determined that that rattling sound was my tire pressure gauge rattling loosely inside my tail piece tray LOL. .....................................Mike

No noticable wind noise at least. GoPro's seem to have the best quality picture and sound in every comparison I have seen.

This clip is 11 mins but an amazing scenic ride on I-8 from InKoPah Cali. down the mounjtain to Ocotillo, a 3000ft drop down to Imperial Valley. Helmet cam and the ventilated back on the GoPro case. The cars were flying by me because this day was a bit overly windy and a sustained headwind/crosswind of 45-50+ on these twisties. One of the windiest stretches of hwy in So Cal. Anyway, desert bighorn sheep can occasionally be spotted on this stretch of I-8. .........................................Mike

You running stock gearing? I went up to a 16t up front for roads like that. Bike cruises at 80-85 no problem now.
