MemphisMechanic Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Spend an extra $30 or so on some pivotheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djp55 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If you keep an eye on Amazon daily deals, they've had 4K ones with full kit under $50 with some regularity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glock26Toter Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I have a Mobius. It's like a $70.00 camera with a dash-cam mode and a sport cam mode... or two sport cam modes. I've had it as a dash cam for around 2 years and it's still working great. I don't use it for a hat cam anymore but did when I first got it. It's a $70.00 camera so don't expect it to perform like a $300 one... but it certainly does the trick if you are after performance analysis and maybe posting some FB/Youtube vids on the cheap.

Wesquire Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think I've decided on the Runcam 2. Basically an updated Mobius for the same price. In the video comparisons I've seen, it is nearly as good as the Go Pro Hero5 Session. Any recommendations on a good stiff hat to put it on? Preferably low crown/profile.

Chili Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I've run a Polaroid Cube for several matches now, good video quality, super light and you can mount it easily with a magnet no permanent mount needed. I tried an original GoPro and a Drift Stealth 2 and I much prefer this setup. The real upside beside how easy it is to mount is I can pass it off to a buddy if he wanted to try it for a run without him needing to wear my hat or have a hat with a dedicated mount.

mwenger Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I've used a mobius for years. It is really lightweight and and fairly inexpensive. I just decided to upgrade to a hero5 session last night so in a few days I will know more about the comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstagn Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 How and where did you mount your CUBE? does it move around as you stop and run? Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHitchcock Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I have a cube as well. I used a few inches I broke off a $1 metal ruler and 2 binder clips (a small one to get the angle I wanted under the ruler and a medium one to actually clip it on the hat). Total cost <$2. Works really well doesn't move. binder clip serves as a index point for the front of the cam so it is always centered. Also is easily transfers to different hats and doesn't damage them.

jstagn Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Thanks, any videos you can share taken with the cube? Comparing with Mobius. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I mounted my cube by simply using a rare earth magnet, I leave it on the bottom of the cube while the camera is in my range bag an the simply place the magnet under the brim of my cap and the cube on top and go. I'm no speed demon as an older fat guy with bad knee's but I don't see that camera moving regardless of the shooter. I've shot a handful of matches with it and I am really happy with it, the only downside with the older cube is no app to review on my phone so I have to wait until I am at home on the PC to check out footage. Here is my last match video that is a mix of regular camera/Cube videos, keeping in mind youtube butchers the video quality I still think for the price and ease of use it is awesome.

muncie21 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I use glasses with the camera embedded. You can get a good 'birds-eye' view of targets, transitions and mag changes. What you miss, is your footwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs62 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Here's a great YouTube video of how to mount the cube to a hat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 To avoid any confusion that is a GoPro Session not a Cube even though it is Cube shaped. I'm at work so I can't take a quick video of how I mount mine but I found a youtube video of the same setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay63 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I mounted a GoPro Hero 5 Sessions to my hat. The gun shots seem to overwhelm the mic. Has anyone come up with a solution to this issue. Thanks Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSteel Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I purchased one of the newly released cubes and when trying to use playback on my IOS and Windows devices I had a screeching noise that was timed with the led flashing on and off. Polaroid indicated it was an application issue they had no current correction for and to return for a refund,. Which I did thru . Amazon May want to do a little research if you go with the cube+ 1440p model... '' Thank you for your response. There was a recent update to the Cube+ application. This update was to resolve our application being compatible with iOS 11. Now this update unfortunately has a bug that is being addressed. An update to the application will be available to resolve this issue with the video playback. At this time, we do not have an ETA on when this update will be released for download through the Google Play Store or through the App Store for iOS.Since the device was recently purchased and do to this inconvenience, if you are unable to wait for the update to the application, you can have the unit returned at the retailer for a refund.Again, I do apologize for the inconvenience.Regards,RafaelAuthorized Polaroid Service Provider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To date the only drawback for me would be the lack of an app for instant review like the GoPro guys.
