The new Prism Tube Action Camera, Full Hd one touch recording and has helmet mount hook-up and is selling for about $119 dollars. Was hoping someone had one for some insight as to how good it is.

Can you post a link please?
I am more interested in getting some type of body camera at this point in time. A damned ALoft hotel bus almost ran me down last Thursday afternoon, while I was on my power walk

I received an ad for it this morning from JakeWilson.com. It's made by SENA, so I expect it to be good.
These look pretty cool

I thought you must be mistaken, everything from Sena is crazy expensive, but it's true! Linky https://www.amazon.com/SENA-PRISM-TU...+Action+Camera OTOH, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it except for it's package. Nice unobtrusive shape. I picked up a wifi enabled cam that connects to app on phone that shows the video and has all controls. They're less than half the cost of the Sena. Downside is I'll have a big boxy thing on my helmet. The Sena lacks features but would be much better for motorcycle use. I'll have to mount my phone and be distracted by it to operate my gopro knockoff, but the Sena boasts one finger operation with voice prompts. If you've already got speakers in your helmet you could just mount these off to the side as audio quality of voice prompts doesn't matter much. If I keep typing I'm gonna talk myself into one. I would be much safer.... (for some reason my line breaks aren't working, sorry for the big jumble of words.)
They said it can be a little grainy and was better in full light than diminished light and they would have been happier with 60 frames a second instead of 30 frames but said it did and OK job for the money you were paying for it. They said the mount to the helmet was good and solid and no chance of you losing it and was more than easy to operate. Also held a charge for about 2 hours of use,so for $119 bucks its not too bad a buy!
Seadog, check out the ION and CONTOUR cameras also. Don't know if these are good or bad yet, still researching, but might be just as good as the Sena: https://www.amazon.com/Ion-1011L-Lit...ds=ion+air+pro
https://www.amazon.com/Contour-ROAM3...+helmet+camera
Each company has many different models.
I'll probably stick with the one I'd already bought cuz I can't afford to buy cameras willy-nilly. Either way, I will not take another trip without one.
With a simple camera system it won't create a safety hazard and the saved memories should offset the cost.
If anyone know what I've done to get rid of my line breaks please respond. All of my text runs together now. aha! I have to put in my own html. nope, that goes away too
Here's a video of the Sena https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWKyrdfRguw

I just received my Sena tube a couple of days ago. For $119.00 I figured I would give it a shot next week at Daytona. What I like about it is the simplicity. I have a Sena 20s mounted on the other side of my helmet, works great but it does way more than I need. The Sena tube is basic,only the size of a small flashlight, on or off, built in mic or you can plug in a mic and speaker for inside your helmet. The helmet mount works great and is easy to install. I have scorpion helmets, one full face and one modular. No problem with either of them. Have not used it riding yet but I did mount it up and walk around the yard with my helmet on and the video looks good. Much better than I had expected. It also comes with a flat mount with 3m tape which I am thinking might be a way to mount it on the front of the B. I am unable to mess with it now as my bike is loaded in the trailer. The ONLY drawback I see so far is lining up the camera view on the side of your helmet. Since there is no screen or bluetooth it is more trial and error. Once mounted it would be smart to run a quick video to see if it's lined up properly. You can then tighten the mount up so it will not move when removing the camera. I plugged my yard test video into my laptop and it came right up on my screen. Easy peezy, worked well. So far I think it's a great value at 119.00 bucks. The true test will be next week.
