A couple months ago I mounted an inexpensive (~$140) 360 view camera to my helmet for my bike work commute. Here's some recent footage: https://youtu.be/aTTEEWxJImk

It works well and might one day capture an accident. I just need to remember to charge it. I wear it even when it is not charged because it seems cars are more cautious around me when they see the camera poking off the top of my helmet.

What camera do you use?

This is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071NPLVZH/

It looks like it might be discontinued, but there are other similar models available: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_36_2?rnid=386442011&key...

If you try this a good helmet mount is important. This one works well for my hardshell helmet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BNEXH4
