<p>I use a Contour Roam 2 mounted on my front handlebars with the Contour flex strap (the Contour bike mount is obtrusive and broke after like a year). The video quality is good (except at night, of course). I'm hoping to acquire a Cycliq Fly 6 someday soon-ish.</p>

<p>Yes, I always do. The I have both the front and rear Cycliq camera/light combos. They are an investment but great little things. They both can last about 7 hours each on one full charge. I used them one time to catch a commercial vehicle that passed dangerously and reported the driver to the company.</p>

<p>Always run one on my commute, sometimes on non-commute rides depending on whether I have a place to put it at my destination.</p>
<p>Use a really old GoPro HD Hero 960, it only supports a 32G memory card and the quality isn't stellar but it was a free hand-me-down so I won't complain. I have a tube/bar mount that I attach to the front-ish of my drop bars with the camera upside down (there's a setting to flip the recording if you do this) or to risers in the middle of the bars.

<p>A rear mount under the saddle. Another bike has a forward mount on the bars. An older GoPro with a second battery on a saddle mount to extend the time. Deleted when I get home, unless.</p>

<p>I do not use a camera. I've been doored a few times. Not sure it would help there. On the near misses where it might help, most of the time I simply don't care to let the incident continue to gnaw at me, which I think collating the video would do. The one time it might have come in ultra-handy was my crash in 2017 where I was knocked unconscious (and leg broken). Since I remembered nothing and there were apparently no witnesses other than the driver, the camera might well have helped, but…</p>

<p>I use a body mounted video camera. I ride a Divvy, so a permanent mount on the bike is a no-go. The camera is too big to be mounted on a helmet.</p>
