forget GoPro, this is the best FPV set up for a motorcycle! :)

Can't agree with you Riko. GoPro, from Hero4, goes to 4K video resolution and is a much more versatile camera. Some features that are useful on and off the bike include up to 12MP photo res in single shot, burst, multi and night photo, time and night lapse with multiple shutter settings. ISO control, EVP, spot metering, pro-tune, looping, highlight tagging, simultaneous video and photo capability, exposure compensation, white balance etc. Waterproof (great for kayaking, fishing and surfing).

As for mounting a camera inside the helmet. Not a good idea. If your head comes in contact with it it has nowhere to go. Mounting on the exterior of the helmet allows the camera mount to shear allowing the helmet padding to do its job. I have mounted the camera on my helmet but have found that, while mostly satisfactory, editing is required to remove head checks if, like me at least, you tend to look twice and manoeuvre once .

The price is right for the Polaroid, but I fear one gets what one pays for.

Cheers

True....you get many more adjustable features on the GoPro.
For the price difference you better have

It is more professional, for sure.

Ps: the waterproof box is not included with the Hero and the Polaroid also can be equipped with such a box.

I just like the fact you got a cheaper alternative that isn't that much inferior in its basic specs against the classleading more expensive action cams, wich is no doubt GoPro.

Anyway, today the sun is shining so I'llbe testing that little box

The positive thing about this mounting option, imo, is that its attached with a magnet, so the cam is not fixed.
If it would be fixed than the cam has nowhere to go and I would not feel safe as well in case of certain crashes.

If due to the crash the magnet should fail, the area the cam can fly is also very limited, so no high impact danger imo.
