I had ordered the F70 camera, but just cancelled it and went with the A119.
Correction: I just checked and it looks like I did have a V3 after all. Still might grab a second one at this price though as a rear camera.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Any of you dashcam wise fellas, got any recommendations for a motorcycle?

GoPro? I can't imagine riding so much where it's a hassle to turn it on/take it with you. Could be wrong, but a GoPro is going to be so much better than the shit being recommended.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm not sure about other riders, but when I tried mounting an action cam to the handlebar of my bike, the video did not come out well at all. The rolling shutter of the camera and the vibration of the engine were interacting together and the video would come out very wavy, almost like you were intoxicated or underwater. It was especially pronounced when the bike was at a stop.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Not my video, but you can see what I mean. The footage is completely unusable.
I've read to get around this, make sure whatever camera you're using is recording at a frame rate of at least 60fps. Or mount it to your helmet, which is what I ended up doing.
Yeah I'm with you, in the hassle of a GoPro. I fell in love with riding this summer. I just worry about other drivers alot. Cut off in my car, fender bender. Cut off on my bike, injury. I may go with something off of Reddit/Amazon recommendations, but was hoping to hear about something good on beyond.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Thanks for this. Which camera are you using on your helmet? I don't want to look like a dorky, anteannaed teletubby. It's enough I see those on the ski hill haha. I've also seen some mounts with dampeners to reduce the vibrations you cited.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I’ve had okay luck mounting it on my tank, but still got wavy like that occasionally. +1 for just putting it on your helmet if you’re on a sport bike. side/chin mount looks a little less silly than right on top. If you’re on a cruiser or Harley of some type a chest strap thing might work. That’s a bit of a fuckaround compared to helmet mount though.
Yeah I just chin mounted a Go-Pro knockoff to the helmet. I didn't mount on top cause I didn't want the visor hitting it and mounting it on the side seemed stupid cause I wouldn't be getting the other half of the road. Mounting it on the chin felt less intrusive too.
So I didn't get the A119 on my wish list it's no longer on sale on Amazon. Was going to get it anyway, but at $139 is there a better option now? (I'm planning on buying 3 or 4) or back to the F70 now?

My wife got the A119 V3 for Christmas, now I just need to install it. Any recommendations of places to install it?
In your driveway or ideally your garage. If you can peel/stick a sticker, you're good to go.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
how much was it going for before? there is a 20 off the 139 now so 119.
I want to say it was $98(?) before Christmas. So not a huge deifference. I'll prob follow @gpomp advice and wait for a week or two.

Ok, perhaps I'll wait too. I was tempted to get a dual setup but feeding the cable through the hatch conduit sounds like something I'd hate to do myself so I gave up that thought.
I usually go to Visions. < $100 to get it professionally hard wired.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
