Has anyone used the CONTOUR ROAM as a dash cam? I bought it through the deal that was on a year ago or so and don't really use it on the bike, so thought i'd mount it in the car. I know I have to erase / on / off as needed but it could work for a typical drive?
sure why not? you'd just need to turn it on and off every time you drive, but it should do the trick.
some comments in this video here give a better idea of what it's like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTmL4kVjwmA
I've used a contour as a dash cam for a bit. I often forget to turn it on and sometimes forgot to turn it off.Cool thanks! Will look into some mounting options as I'd prefer to hang it off the mirror instead of glass/dash. Suggestions?
This should work to mount a contour to a mirror http://m.ebay.ca/itm/Bicycle-Motorc...amera-Camcorder-GRCA-/221756544146?nav=SEARCHI've used a contour as a dash cam for a bit. I often forget to turn it on and sometimes forgot to turn it off.
I made a mirror mount using part of a camera tripod and a rubber coated clamp.
They sell mirror mounts with a camera thread on ebay for a couple dollars though.

I'm thinking of buying a SJCAM M10

It's a gopro compatible action cam that can do loop recording and auto on/off based on what I've read online. It would also make a handy backup camera for the gopro.

What's everyone running these days?
Need something that has a proper Parking Mode as well.
Motorcycle Mike, still loving that G1W?

The contour roam would work but I believe you can only record and charge at the same time with the cable that was included with the camera. If you don't have that, you're going to have to charge it every day (depending on the length of drive/time it's on). It also does also take a lot of memory so deleting videos may be a bit of a hassle as well.
Ya I figured that would be a hassle, but I think if nothing happens during a drive I can just reformat the camera on the fly and always have it ready. Will try it out once the cheap mounts come in and if it doesn't work or is too much of a hassle I'll look at other options. Right now it's just sitting there gathering dust.
