    Has anyone seen or used this camera

    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

    On Jake Wilson Website

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

    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.)

    Search Youtube for a review on the Sena Prism Tube Camera

    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
