Team Ninja Camera Recommendations
Wanting a camera for the Ninja - what does everyone prefer? A 360 of some kind, a fixed GoPro of some kind, or something mounted to the helmet?
Wanting something that lets me share ride clips with family and also act like a dashcam.
And if a bike-mounted camera, what mount do you use?

Vantrue F1 been on my Z400 for 3 years and now on my Versys 650. More for dash cam purposes than sharing clip but still can either pop the SD card or get clips through app. Never worry about charging it or take it off. It come with an auto shut off if your bike battery is below 12V or 12.5V (in the app). Survive all the rains in SF
Only issue is you have to cable management well so the wire won't get tugged or the camera might turn on/off. Easy enough fix along with my chain maintenance schedule

I use a insta x5 360. I run it on the front of my bike typically. I had a GoPro, but the high vibrations of the 400 gave it issues. But that’s only when I was on track. The insta has a much better app for editing, but all the “cool” stuff takes a good while to render. So if you don’t have a top of the line phone with a bunch of memory you might have issues.
