You might want to have a look at one of mine, head cams are fine, if you can keep your head still !!!

Ant, I've watched it now. Very good indeed, what did you all slow down for at 05:45?

The leader noticed the van in front with scaffold poles hanging out the back !!!! and was supposed to time it right so we could all pass at the same time in a particular spot.......fine if you know the road.....didn't work though

Ant, I meant to mention, I think having a head cam even with your head constantly moving is ok as it adds a bit more interest to the video rather than it just being static. And if the unfortunate should happen and you get  involved in a bump at least it will show you constantly surveying and being vigilant. I do have a fixed camera as well though.

Hi Ant, Steve...............If memory serves me right it looks as if the video starts from the tree lined car park  on the cliff tops  near the  Rocamadour Eagles exhibit and flying display ?

[Ant]

Correct...

I see what you mean and agree with you to some extent, but why on earth does someone move their head from side to side and take their eye off the road unless stopped at a junction, in a town, making a turn or preforming an overtake. A junction / turning should be observed and assessed well before you reach it allowing you to take action ( slow down, widen line etc ). Its too late when you are passing it !!

In a car I see people looking at their passenger when talking to them, no problem ( well it is really ) if you hit a brick / wood / dead animal etc, theres just a bump.  Hit it on a bike and your most likely off !!!

But everyone has their own way of riding and whatever suits them is fine I guess.......
