POV Action Cam Shootout – Which Camera Is The Best? | Mountain Bike Review

Best comparison of the different POV cams I've seen. Still thinking about getting one to replace the little hobby cam I have.

Hah! One of the mechanics from the CCC took one on a couple of legs of Cycle Oregon!

Here's a shot of my new ride. In a "since you're getting a new bike " moment, I sprung for the Di2. I am smitten with it. Shifting is effortless...even hammering out of the saddle. The self trim feature is great too. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1363896630.jpg

Nice!!!...mine was about double that. Yeah Z...Ultegra, according to the shop the DuraAce is more spendy for not much more performance.

Your shop is right, 6700 Ultegra and 7900 DA is pretty close. I had 6700 on my Scott Addict R2 and it was a fantastic grupo that never had any issues. Enjoy!

Nice Bike! how's my buddy Fred doing?

Most of the bits for the boy's next bike. I think he'll be the only 14 y/o in the area riding a '70's Raleigh kitted out with '00's Campy Veloce and tubulars. Actually, this is Portland, so that's probably not true.

Joe Bob 03-21-2013 10:03 PM

Nope, I'm happy with the three I have. Looking for an associate of mine. His knees are gone and he's getting the 40s flab......talked him into bikes.

Great...taking my money a grand at a time. He tells me you were his Time rep. Don't suppose you have an extra C/F bottle cage needing a home? Hard to spend a C-note on 1. I know, I know...look what I already spent for the bike.

Ouch! $100 for a bottle cage? I thought the $40 one I bought myself was hard to swallow (so to speak) :)

Who has bought/used the Garmin Edge on a bike?

jyl 03-22-2013 12:40 PM

This is my next bike purchase - Wahoo RFLKT - basically a head unit (display/controls) for a cycling app running on the iPhone in your jersey pocket. The RFLKT runs forever on a coin cell. The iPhone runs a lot longer w/ display off. I think I can adapt it to a wristband tool, and pair it to an iPhone running app. BUT word is that it needs a firmware revision to work well, so I'm holding off for a while yet.

Wahoo RFLKT ("Reflect") - iPhone Powered Bike Computer by Wahoo Fitness

And I think I've finally settled on the POV cam (action cam, helmet cam, etc) for me. Not quite the resolution/frame rate/image quality of the latest GoPro, but 2-3X longer battery life, waterproof w/o a separate case, LCD screen and WiFi built in, wrist control included, less dorky looking, and has a lapse-tag mode - push a button and camera records everything from -X time in the past to +X time in the future, X definable between 5 second and 5 minutes.
