• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Any alternatives to the GOPRO cameras being used, not that they are not good merely looking for a less expensive option. I know you get what you pay for but . . . just not made of money and would rather apply most of my resources to the trike itself.

Intent is to visit Yellowstone next summer so looking for something to dash or some sort of mount to record trips more memorable scenery.

I use the HTC RE. Takes great pictures and videos at highway speeds and is super easy to download pictures. Cost is around $120 with the accessory package.
 
I have used the SJcam4000 and it is almost up to the quality of my GoPro 4 Silver, not quite but close. But for the price it is hard to beat. Also have a Sena Tube that has as good or better quality as the GP and the sound with the remote mic is excellent except it won't interface with existing Sena communications, not a big problem as the mic is small and easily installed in your helmet. Only real negative is the anti shake is not as good as the GP's so you will get a little bouncier video but nothing that would be a deal breaker.
I have also used the Drift helmet cams and found them to produce great video also, haven't used the latest and greatest so I expect them to be even better now.
So I would say if your on a budget go with the SJ or the Sena.

I have a Drift Innovation that I mount to my helmet.

Phone mount

I have a gopro but have also used my phone with a Ram mount, just make sure your sd card has room. Jim.
 
I have the Innovv K1 system on all my motorcycles.

1. Turns on/off with the ignition
2. Loop recording. Writes over old files. With a 64GB microSD card, that's several days worth
3. Records with forward mounting and rearward mounted cameras.
4. Has been bullet proof for me.
5. HALF the price of a GoPro

Innovv K1 camera system

 
Sony HDR-AS15

Prior to GoPro I used a Sony HDR-AS15. If you want to save money & get great quality this is the way to go. I mounted mine to the left mirror & it has a one-button activation. It has the anti-shake and gives a very clear picture. You can purchase these used for $30-60.

Whatever you get, it is well worth it. I have the cheap Ion cam that I mounted to handlebars that recently caught an encounter I had with a waste management truck. $1800.00 in damages that was paid, no questions asked. Video don't lie!!!
