[REVIEW] Sena 10C EVO-01: “Integration at its Best”
Getting to Grips with the Sena 10C Evo As so many of us gear up for a new riding season, with related planning that goes with it, there is obviously a new or renewed appreciation for the ability to just get out and ride, whether alone or together, locally, or farther afield. We all have …
INNOVV K3 Action Camera: Hands-On Review
Getting Serious About Dashcams Here we are headed for summer 2021 but still coping with our pandemic world, although one that is being overcome on many fronts thanks to ongoing health and safety protocols, vaccines, and the continuing tireless efforts of health care workers. With a new riding season (wherever you are), new and updated …
[REVIEW] INNOVV K5 Camera System
Introduction Up front, we need to identify that this review is based on a pre-release version of the coming-to-market INNOVV K5 that is identified as a Dash Cam, but in reality, should be called an “Action Cam” as it designed for and is specifically focused on the powersports market. wBW has, over the years, reviewed …
[REVIEW] VIOFO MT1 Camera System
Introduction No matter if we ride alone or ride together, one of the best, and most popular accessories used by motorcyclists as well as those participating in other powered and non-powered outdoor activities is a video camera or cameras. And no matter where the camera or cameras are mounted – on the rider, motorcycle or …
INNOVV C5 Helmet Camera Kit: Versatility Realized
Introduction The INNOVV C5 Helmet Camera wasn’t unexpected really, in that it is a logical adaptation of the rugged versatile INNOVV C5 Moto-CAM reviewed late 2017 – two of which continue to cope with the ups and downs of adventure-oriented/off-road activities. It does make for a bit of déjà vu though, in that one of …
Sena Prism Tube WiFi Action Camera Review
Introduction Years ago, GoPro essentially created the action camera market by offering small and lightweight devices that could take a beating and deliver good quality video. Since that time, many other players have stepped into the “action camera” arena including Sony, Garmin, and others. A large majority of action cameras followed GoPro’s lead and designed …
The INNOVV K2 Motorcycle Camera – Great System, Great Versatility, Great Insurance
The Breakdown Like the original K1, the new INNOVV K2 is a dual-channel (front/rear or ??) video recording system, specifically designed for powersports but physically and functionally optimized for motorcycle use. As the replacement for the tried and trusted K1 system, the K2 reflects an updated design and application approach in using a sealed DVR …
HaloCam M1 Motorcycle Dashcam: Installation & Review
Dashcams are becoming more and more popular in cars and trucks in recent years and not without good reason. With costs of vehicle repairs and associated injuries always on the rise, having a video of an incident might provide crucial evidence in determining fault in the event of a crash. Finding dashcams for a car …
INNOVV C5 Camera System Review

GoPro Wide Camera Part 2
Part 2: The GoPro Wide Helmet Hero Video Camera Kit Rick’s Take I also came into possession of a GoPro Wide camera recently. Bottom line? I agree with all of HBC’s findings in Part I of this review. The GoPro Wide is super-easy to use right out of the box and the wide angle lens …
Motorcycle Video Camera Reviews
We Get Hands-On to Review Awesome Motorcycle Video Cameras… … And Compare them By Price, Video Quality, Ease of Use, Accessories & More This page includes a listing of our motorcycle video camera reviews and accessory reviews.

AEE MD80 Video Camera
Tiny-Mini & Cheap Action Cam? Definitely the cutest and most fun of any camera in this comparison, but the AEE MD80 is more of a novelty than a serious motorcycle video camera. Its benefits are the small size and ease of use, along with the included 2 GB MicroSD card. With a little bit of …
Motorcycle Camera Mounts
Motorcycle Camera Mounts Reviewed The mounts that come with most motorcycle video cameras are semi-useful for mounting the camera to a helmet but not the motorcycle. Suction cup style camera mounts are readily available and they can be used for a sturdier mounting arrangement. These are available under a variety of brand names, including the …
AEE HD50 Video Camera
Is It an Action Cam? The AEE HD50 is kind of a hybrid hand-held action camera that definitely isn’t made for motorcycle use. But, it has the best video quality in this group, about the equal of the GoPro Hero HD (review) or the Drift HD 170 (review). This was a surprise, as we took a complete chance …
SJCAM SJ4000 Review
A Cheap GoPro Clone The SJCAM SJ4000 action camera is a pretty close copy of the GoPro Hero series. But it’s about 1/3 the price. I’m guessing neither GoPro or SJCAM will like that comparison, but there it is. In fact, the SJ4000 is so close in shape, size and format that it fits in …
Sena Tube Review
Easy and Simple Video The new Sena Prism Tube action camera is super easy to use and takes outstanding quality video. It also includes the best action camera helmet mount in the business.

Motorcycle Dash Cam Comparison
A 360° Motorcycle Dash Cam Setup I’m a long time regular webBikeWorld reader and I’ve been closely following the action camera reviews and the Bluetooth intercom reviews for some time. The do-it-all Sena 10C (review) sure grabbed my attention, as did the INNOVV C3 action cam (review) and the Mobius action cam (review). I went “all in” and I learned a few things and …
Mobius Action Cam Review
A Sophisticated Yet Inexpensive Action Camera The Mobius Action Cam is one of the best bargains going. It takes good quality 720p or 1080p video and it’s small and light weight (56 g with mount). The best part may be the software, which allows extensive customization of the settings. There are many user-definable options that …
INNOVV C3 Action Camera Review
Remote Lens With Continuous Recording Option The INNOVV C3 action camera is a bit different from some of the other motorcycle video cameras we have reviewed on webBikeWorld. This one separates the camera body or “brain” from the lens with a 1.5 meter long cable. The C3 comes with a 120-degree wide angle lens and a narrower …
ReplayXD Prime X Review
Outstanding Video Quality and Ease of Use The ReplayXD Prime X has the same low-profile form-factor as the ReplayXD 1080 reviewed on webBikeWorld in 2011. That camera won a webBikeWorld Motorcycle Product of the Year Award in 2011. The rugged aluminum tube shape and easy-to-use format remains and the Prime X version has a “Hyperion CinePrime X Lens” …
Sena Prism Review
An Action Camera “System” for Motorcyclists The Sena Prism is a solidly built, Bluetooth 4.0 action camera, first introduced on webBikeWorld in the Sena Prism preview from October 2013.

Ricoh WG-M1 Review
A Ricoh/Pentax Waterproof, Ruggedized Action Camera The new Ricoh WG-M1 expands the company’s “WG” point-and-shoot camera lineup with a new form factor. The WG-M1 looks rugged and it is. It doesn’t need a water-resistant housing to achieve its IPX8 rating for immersion to 10 meters (32.8 ft.). It’s also shock resistant, rated for a “Method …
Polaroid Cube Review
A Tiny Action Camera Takes Surprisingly Good Video The new Polaroid Cube action camera is tiny. And yes, it’s pretty darn cute. There’s no getting around the cuteness factor but, of course, cute isn’t enough. No problem, because the little guy actually takes surprisingly good quality video! That fact is a testament to how far …

Midland XTC400VP Review
Midland XTC400VP Action Camera Review The new Midland XTC400VP is basically a higher-spec version of the Midland XTC300 (review) we reviewed one year ago. The XTC400 adds WiFi connectivity; a mounting system with standardized mounting rails on either side of the camera; a rotating lens and several user-controlled recording options. The kit also comes with a (rather …
BlackVue Sport SC500 Review
A True GoPro Competitor The BlackVue Sport SC500 action camera takes excellent quality video and photographs that is better than most action cameras we have reviewed. The videos from the SC500 have a noticeably wider exposure range than is usually found in this type of video camera. Also, the colors are accurate and the video …
Garmin VIRB Preview
Garmin VIRB Action Camera Preview The Garmin VIRB is brand new and ours just arrived yesterday. The battery is still charging, but here are a few very quick pics and initial impressions. A full webBikeWorld review will be coming soon and we’ll compare the Garmin VIRB with the GoPro Hero 3 (review). It seems like everybody …
Garmin VIRB Review
Garmin Makes An Action Camera The Garmin VIRB action camera is built like a brick with excellent overall construction. It’s also relatively heavy and we discovered that this has implications when mounting the camera. Overall, we’re disappointed with the video quality of the Garmin VIRB and we hope that Garmin can and will correct the …
Sena Bluetooth Action Camera
Sena Bluetooth Action Camera Announced October 2, 2013 – The news has leaked; we’ve been trying to hold the secret but word got out that the Sena Bluetooth Action Camera will be formally announced at the upcoming AIMExpo show in Orlando, Florida on October 17.

Liquid Image Ego Review
Small and Cheap With Good Results The Liquid Image Ego 727 is an extremely compact camera that takes very good videos. Its various user interfaces include a smart phone option, but leave a few things to be desired. On the other hand, the Liquid Image Ego is one of least expensive HD cameras out there; …
Midland XTC-300 Review
Excellent HD Video Choice The Midland XTC-300 VP4 continues Midland’s tradition for ease of use, now in HD. The XTC-300 has surprisingly good video for a camera in this price range The colors are very accurate and the exposure is perfect in daytime lighting conditions. The camera also couldn’t be easier to use, with its …
GoPro Hero3 Review
Outstanding Video With the GoPro Quirks The new GoPro Hero3 delivers the goods, no doubt about it. In fact, we named it our Motorcycle Action Camera of the Year for 2012. The Hero3 Black Edition has the best video quality by far of any motorcycle video camera we’ve reviewed. That’s the good news. Not all is rosy, …
Sony Action Cam Video Camera Review
Sony Action Cam Review The Sony Action Cam is yet another new entry in the burgeoning motorcycle video camera market. It’s available with or without WiFi and a waterproof housing is supplied with either kit. The camera can take video at either a 120 or 170 degree lens setting and slow-motion video at 60 and …
JVC GC-XA1 Video Camera Review
Excellent Quality Video With Mounting Issues The brand new JVC GC-XA1 is also our new class leader for motorcycle “action” camera video quality. The video it takes is sharp and very nicely exposed, with smooth gradations and good response times when moving back and forth in shadows and light. The camera is also very easy …
Motorcycle Video Camera Mounts
More Motorcycle Video Camera Mounts Four more suction cup mounts that just don’t work very well for motorcycle video cameras. Someday, hopefully, someone will develop a better solution for mounting a camera on a helmet or bike. Motorcycle video camera manufacturers just don’t get it. Making a great little camera isn’t enough — if it …
Delkin Wingman HD Video Camera
Delkin “WingmanHD” Review The new Delkin “WingmanHD” video camera has a few interesting features and, for the most part, it captures very good quality video. The accurate color rendition and excellent exposure management are class-leading, but the camera has a few quirks that keep it from top billing. But it’s a good first try from …
Delkin WingmanHD
Delkin WingmanHD Action Video Camera November 2011 – Delkin, the manufacturer of memory cards, USB card readers and the Fat Gecko line of camera suction cup mounts (review) has announced the “WingmanHD” video camera.
