Does anyone have any recommendations for a good pair of cycling glasses with in-built camera, or a camera attachment. I currently use a cheap (~£15) pair of Sunwise glasses, which I like because they have interchangeable lenses (although I typically keep the yellow lenses in). What I would like is:
- Record video at HD (1080) and 30fps or higher.
- Wide angle lens 170 degrees.
- Ideally interchangeable lenses
- And preferably under £100
- (Oh and obviously some water proofing for when it's raining but given the nature of the product I'd assume that's a given)
I have looked on Amazon and see some well reviewed products (some at low as £20) but it's way out of my budget for the ones that match my requirements.
What do you use and what would you recommend.
I can't speak to camera glasses, or prices on the 'other side of the pond'.
But I use a Chest Mount Strap with my GoPro Hero4 Silver camera. Instead of mounting it on my helmet. Also, You mentioned about having to re-charge the battery daily. That is a given. But I have three identical batteries, along with a battery re-charger. So I will never run into a situation(before going on my ride) of all three batteries are not charged. I am still trying to figure out, how. To be able to take a spare battery with me. Without damaging it in any way.
