My Cheap Polaroid XS10 Helmet Camera

[Cubby]

I found the new Polaroid XS10 action camera on sale on Amazon for under $50. It does 720 @ 30 fps. The mounts that came with it are pretty flimsy so I picked up the Go Pro Grab Bag of mounts and epoxied a mount to the back of the waterproof case and attached it to my helmet. For $50 I think it goes a good job - not great - but good enough. Here are some sample videos from the first ride. The red ring at the top of the video is my fault. I need to move the camera down a bit in the waterproof mount.

I got about 1.5 hrs of recording time on the battery. That was at -19 C.

Stupid question time. Can you start and stop it easily while riding? I like the low cost concept but would not want one solid long video. Would like to turn on and off for cool sections.

Curious on that too?

Vids look pretty good considering the $50 dollar price tag

It has no remote - just buttons on the side accessible with the waterproof case.
