    Re: Dash/Helmet cam

    To continue the discussion regarding helmet mount of Action cam, I had read somewhere that this is not the most safest option. The reason is the helmets are already designed to have an optimum distribution of forces in the event of a crash and installing a helmet mount is an additional source of a point load on the helmet surface, if your cam gets in contact with any hard surface in the event of a crash. So in worst case, it can theoretically cause the helmet to crack, if you fall, hitting your cam first on the road.

    Helmet mount.
    on bike you cant move it to show left or right, whereas while leaning you can keep head steady.

    Or get two mounts, interchange it occasionally.

    helmet will obviously not have that problem but head shake, head turn, all that will come in the video.

    any suggestions?
    I think you should go for the helmet mount. Sure the view will be amazing if you mount it on the windscreen, but a first person point of view will have much more immersion. Cheers

    I prefer the helmet mount ... it will record what i see . So fair enough. And less jerky compared to bike mount.

    Thanks

    Try all the mounting and record at the same road, now watch which is not jerky, good position, then decide.

    I Would say go ahead with aliexpress, they have some discounts on 11th Nov , you can get it SJ4000 Wifi for 65$ (4.3K). In case its gets caught you have to pay around 1.2k. But make sure you buy from a genuine dealer (Pu-hu Digital??)

    Thanks alot Jayanth for the detailed description

    From where you have bought the SJCAM ? Did you paid any customs?
    I am also planning to buy from the official site but afraid of getting caught and paying the heavy customs.

    Hey Guys,

    I'm Planning to buy SJ4000 , I'm not sure whether to go with dx.com dues to the customs issue. The Price is around 6200 for the original one, One of my friend is comming back from US next month , I can ask him to get it but I'm not sure whether he'll able to differentiate between original & duplicate. My question is in case i buy it through dx.com / aliexpress & it gets caught at customs how much will be the duty?
