No.1
GoPro Hero 7 Black
The perfect companion for dusty rides
| Pros | Cons |
| + image stabilisation + Improved audio quality + Impressive video and images + Waterproof without case + Range of accessories | – Expensive |
| Details |
| + Waterproof 10M + 2″ Touch Screen + 4K Resolutions at 60fps + Live Stream Function + Recording Time 105 Mins |
| Information |
| The much revered GOPRO HERO 7 BLACK is arguably the most popular helmet camera in the market place allowing you to view your adventures in stunning video quality thanks to the 4K recording capability, and 12-megapixel photo capture. Furthermore the Hypersmooth Video Stabilisation means shaky video is a thing of the past, allowing smooth footage to be recorded without the need to worry about a fiddly tripod set up. The magic of handsfree operation means you can control start, stop and photo functions all through the use of your voice without the need to use the touchscreen. If however you are more of button pusher you get a 2″ touchscreen on the back, and a small monochrome display on the front allowing you to see information such a battery life, settings and probably most important time remaining. |
No.2
DJI OSMO ACTION
Two Screens Are Definitely Better Than One
Best GoPro Alternative
| Pros | Cons |
| + Cheaper than a Hero 7 Black + Video quality and stabilisation + User-friendly action camera + Waterproof without a case | – No live-streaming – No stabilisation in HDR mode |
| Details |
| + Shoots 4K video at 60fps + Waterproof to 11 metres without a case + HDR video and hyperlapse modes + Front-facing colour screen + 90 Minute Recording Time |
| Information |
| The DJI OSMO ACTION is a serious contender against many of the other cameras in this article – even the GoPro Hero 7 Black -it just doesn’t match the price which is a really good thing. Where it is on equal par with its biggest competitors is its video quality thanks to its 4K capability, and stabilisation meaning blurry and distorted video is non existent. User-friendly function and capability is another plus for this motorcycle helmet camera whether your testing it in the rain (waterproof without a case), using voice control to set up and record video, or simply navigating your way around its setting. |
No.3
SONY RX0 II
Crushproof design incase things get a little out of control.
| Pros | Cons |

| + Up to 4K 25fps video + 15.3-megapixel 1-inch sensor + 960fps slo-mo + 1-hour battery life + Fold-out screen |

Furthermore this camera will survive a drop from 2 metres and is water resistant up to 10 metres. An excellent design feature of the Sony RX0 II (and is lacking in the GoPro) is the rear screen flips out on its metal hinge. This is a nice touch if you want to see your face position if your recording content for your vlog. The RXO II boasts a 1 inch 15.3 megapixel image sensor allowing for great image and video capture in low light, and a world renowned high quality Zeiss Tessar T 24mm wide-angle lens. |
No.4
GARMIN VIRB ULTRA 30
Great video comes from Garmin’s clear direction

| Information |
| A real tour de force in GPS technology Garmin are like a number of brands which moved into the motorcycle helmet camera market. Learning lessons from the past, Garmin have seen sense and now offer the GARMIN VIRB ULTRA 30 in wonderful 4K recording, 2 hour recording time thanks to its upgraded battery, and the all important image stabilisation – except at 4K recording which is a little disappointing. What feels like a given with any motorcycle helmet camera the Virb Ultra 30 has an LCD panel which is touch screen, accept when it is in the protective case where you will have to resort to pushing buttons. A great feature of this device is the voice control activation system which allows you to “Take a Picture”, “Start recording” or “Stop Recording” completely hands free. And finally to an area of spec which sets the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 from its competitors such as GoPro. The Ultra 30 includes Garmins G-Metrix which is built-in GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, altimeter, and compass. Having this information embedded into your recording adds real value to your recordings. |
