Hey Julian, we’ll have a proper full review shortly and I’ll make sure to cover those areas. The 3M adhesive tends to be pretty rock solid in our previous experience, but it normally comes down to surface preparation, and it can be finicky at times. If it’s not quite right, like a leading edge hasn’t sealed down properly and been left to cure, or there was a little grease, or dust preventing a good seal, it can slowly deteriorate, especially with constant pressure from the wind at speed, plus vibrations. We’ll do some extensive testing though on the GoPro offerings to make sure it matches previous experience.

I’ve used another brand action camera in a similar fashion, and with about 90-120 mins of recording time it normally handled two trips well, and it’s just a matter of clearing the card and recharging overnight. If you’ve got the capability at work you can also always charge your GoPro via a USB port, and clear the card with a card reader if needed.

That’s not a deal breaker to me, and you can also lower the video quality, as the lowest setting will provide the greatest battery life and recording time, but should be ideal for recording other people’s shenanigans on the roads if you ever need any evidence. We haven’t put this to the full test yet, as we’re normally recording in 1080p, but we’ll see how long we can get at minimum quality.

Can you tell us how well it mounts onto the bike using the 3M double-sided adhesive pads, and whether it can stay on under heavy conditions. I’m interested in using the GoPro to record like a dashcam – just to be safe – so having front and rear mounted GoPros. Is the 2 hour and 64GB card a deal breaker?
