I ride a HD Heritage and have used the camera for the last 3 years. Its plugged into the bikes USB. Its mounted on a custom bar I had made for the bike by Fortress Motorcycles and sits just behind the bike screen.. Primarily for safety but I produce videos of our group rides. Video reproduction is excellent. I put Musak on rather than engine noise as the in line mike isn't great. Our group did the 3 highest pub challenge and I used 2 cards to capture it all and edit it down to 15 minute vids. Cant speak highly enough. Only down side is I wanted to get a back up weather proof cable for the camera but cant find a UK supplier. Getting it from Italy is rather pricey. But yep, I am well happy.
Hey Road Rash. Thanks for the review. I have the wifi version, the wind noise is absolutely horrendous even at 30mph. Surprised that there is barely any noise on yours. It would be interesting to see how it fairs at 60-70mph
i am recording however only the first clip come good.the rest of thr clips are completly black. anyone can help? could this be a cam problemmor an sd card?
Hello RR. This is what I have been looking for, I had a Roadhawke ride bullet camera very similar to this one, ideal for what I wanted. Question. Can you review the footage? Is it operated or set up from an app ! Good review 👍
Would love to see what your thoughts are on the Sena S10C Evo. Camera's are brilliant but the combination intercom & the voice recording feature make it seem like a wicked option to push the camera one step further!
Hope to see you on our next review and look forward to your comments👍 Ps if you like rider tech relatid stuff thats what our channels all about, this is our latest review if your on the SENA 10C EVO ua-cam.com/video/xwALolCz4TE/v-deo.html. Anyway keep on keepin on David Talk soon Bobbymax
I got the Bulletcam from Chilli technology with a spare battery for only £48 they have a special offer on now and it's just as good as that one for half the price.

that last strap you displayed, looks to enable it to be worn on your head (no helmet)...?? looks similar to the type of strap used by Mountaineers/cavers to mount a torch, I was a Mountain Rescue volunteer (in my youth).
Hi just purchased one. Put in 64gb card and it won’t record? Questions Should the red recording light flash all time or stay solid? Turns on vibrates but light flashes. When you have record l take it you remove card put in pc to view recordings? I have formatted the card but still no joy. Any advice appreciated
Hey Terry, i cant remember and bont have the unit any more but ill contact someone that knows and let you know that is unless you've sorted it? Cheers Bobbymax
@@RoadRashTV Ok thanks it’s frustrating that the instructions don’t say such an important thing. I switch on and get a blue light, l think you push power button and red light flashing is record. That seems to work now. But it’s been trial and error l thought the SD card was faulty
I just bought one of these, second hand but unused and almost new, and the thing doesn't seem to want to charge. The red charging light goes out in less than a minute and then it turns on but turns straight off again. It works fine with the power lead connected, but on my old 6v bike that's not much help...
Hi Casper thanks for watching the review im sorry to hear that its not charging but i dont really have a solution as it sounds like a faulty unit... can you send it back?
Hey, great video. Just bought one. Mine seems to have a LOT of wind noise however. I have side mount on my lid same as you. How do I reduce the wind noise?
Hi Valkyrie thanks for your kind comment and im glad you enjoyed the review. When it comes to wind noises its quite a subjective thing as anything you stick on your helmet will increase the wind noise. Some cams are more lightly to increase noise than others thats why in general bullet cams like this one ard better than say a large gopro style cams as they are more streamlined. I once saw a YT video when someone made a covering to shield the mounting bracket to make it more streamlined as thats the bit that will catch the wind and make the noise. I hope this helps in some way Bobbymax Ps. What you riding?
Hi thanks for the reply. I have one the same as yours and was just amazed really that yours didn't become so noisy that we couldn't hear your voice yet mine does. I may look into a wind shield for it. I am wondering also that the tethered lock maybe for a mount for the mouth area of the helmet, but I am not sure. Thanks again.
We found out the tether thing is for attaching it to a cycle helmet.

Well the design is great and I can understand the use of it as a dash cam but the specs of the camera are totally obsolete and using it as an action cam is not really a good idea. Great review though, thanks!!!

Thanks for review. It's a Swedish company. With the name Midland I originally thought it was a British company. Cheers. Like everything else, it's made in China.
The company is actually Italian, I'm still trying to figure out why they are called Midland but they are more famous for making radio's. Also there is a new Wifi version which is even better.
@@RoadRashTV yes, that could be the case. But there are cameras recording with 1080/60 or even 120fps. Unfortunately they always have this "Gopro"-Design. I like the idea of the Midland bike guard because it can be hidden at the bike much easier, but the recording quality seems to be only enough for dashcams, not for high quality movies
You could take a look at this review if you like the shape of the bullet cams better ua-cam.com/video/ednpSU7eYrU/v-deo.html We are also about to review the sena10c evo and i can tell you now it's a propper bit of kit,
@@RoadRashTV You made us all laugh, bloody funny. A few years ago on a local forum I posted "I've now fallen off every bike I've owned".. The response was unanimous, "I'm not riding with you" ! Take care.
