Also, I commute and haven't had any real problems so far but I figure why not have that extra insurance if something does happen.
Obviously I don't want a huge, heavy bulky thing stuck to my helmet, but I DO want something that will be seen by motorists. I want them to know I have it.
Any thoughts on this?
I'm not sure many people notice my camera just simply because it doesn't look like a camera. Most people are familiar with the GoPro type camera worn on top of the helmet or on the handlebar. Mine looks rather inconspicuous sitting on top of my helmet and behind the seatpost. If you want people to notice you might want to have something that looks like a camera.
