I've left it off during the winter, because it's handlebar/stem mounted and there's no room for it alongside both the light and computer.
Perhaps I should figure out a way of mounting it along with the light, after all. I don't have a h*lmet and other means of head mounting have not so far worked out very well. And I don't fancy those handlebar-extension mounts (Topeak etc.). I suppose I could leave off the computer, seeing as it doesn't work anyway when the lights are on (the pulsing LEDs interfere with the radio signal).
Having said that: number of interesting 'incidents' I have captured with the camera, so far: nil.
Perhaps it's just that I don't go 'looking for trouble'.
My first outing with my camera in December & within 7 minutes I'd captured my first numpty cutting in on me just before a junction
I even cussed that he'd saved all of 3 seconds and pedalled past the roundabout & he catch me up 30 seconds later when he honked me for giving him the evil eyes..eejit.Week before last I failed to switch it on as I turned out my street only to be nearly rammed by a stupid bint exiting the street next to mine..a camera is important these days and is going to be a very useful tool to take up the fight against errant road users whether the police like it or not..
That the police seem to pick & choose randomly what they will allow (or indeed the CPS) needs to be addressed fast, if evidence from 'CCTV' attached to a persons house or business property is suffice why is not a camera that happens to be located elsewhere. That aspect is completely baffling & illogical
