For those who want to have cameras on their bike to document the unlikely event of a collision, hit-and-run, etc, there is currently a good deal on the first generation Garmin VIRB cameras. I installed a pair of them on my bike:
Front handlebar
Under saddle
The Garmin cameras are waterproof, have a 2.5hr battery life and include a quick-release mount. They can be picked up for $113, marked down from the original $299. They have been discontinued due to the recent release of a newer model.
The parts needed for this setup are:
- 2x Garmin VIRB cameras
- 1x Garmin Large Handlebar Mount for VIRB
- 1x K-Edge Go Big Pro Saddle Rail Mount for GoPro
Lastly, here is a sample video taken using this setup:
Note: the raw video out of the camera is much clearer so that license plate numbers are easier to read.
