• How many people use the Session? There's a chance I'm getting one as a gift for the festive season.

    I'd prefer to mount it to my backpack shoulder strap but I guess it'll never record the angle properly if I move from hoods/drops a lot, so up front on the bars it'll go.

    Of all these cheap shit options available at the moment in supermarkets, are any worth the punt as a rear cam? Not pro peloton, not sticking a GoPro under my seat.

  • I've got a session and have it bar mounted on an out front garmin/camera mount. Works fine although battery life is only about 1.5hrs and battery isn't replaceable so depending on commute length you'll have to remember to charge it at work and delete video depending on capacity of your sd card. You'll need to delete stuff via the app as it doesn't really have any use able controls on the device itself.

    For the rear, something like an sjcam 4000 would be fine, you can pick up a saddle rail gopro mount for about a fiver off ebay (or spend £25(!) for the equivalent k-edge mount). Also you can get spare batteries for very cheap and they're replaceable. Note that most cameras will have to go in a waterproof case, so you won't get any usable audio from them.

    If you run a garmin, I wouldn't recommend the sjcam upfront as it emits a lot of interference which will cause problems with the garmin's GPS.
