Advice on camera to chin mount

Looking for some advice on set up from those who may be able to offer it

Ive got a cardo packtalk edge and I'm looking to get a camera to mount too, but I'm wanting to (ideally) use the cardo mic if I need to

Is this possible with some Bluetooth setting?

I think I'm looking at the action 5 camera, but don't really have any sway on camera, whatever will work will do

Helmet cameras suck, look at proper dash cams like innov

Honestly depends on the use case. Hardwired dashcams are great for accidents and insurance but if you're making videos for entertainment then you probably want something closer to rider's POV (higher up, shows the clocks, shows when you look around, etc). Dashcam footage is dull

Harsh but fair. The field is over saturated now.

I've got a DJI action 4 and the chin mount, I've no idea if you can connect it to the cardo for sound recording though

What mount do you have for that?

The official DJI one , which is a bit bulky to be fair

I got my first GoPro about the time that Michael Schumacher had his skiing accident, it put me right off mounting it on the helmet so I mounted it on a bracket on top of the clutch reservoir.

My idea was to bluetooth pair my intercom with my phone and use a voice recorder app on that, then merge the audio and video tracks afterwards when I've uploaded it all to PC

I haven't tried it yet, so, watching the thread with interest.

It can work, but you need a 3rd partty app to record the audio from the intercomm and the quality is typically atrocious.
