with the Senas was the ability to narrate over the video. However, I wasn’t able to test this because I ride with goggles and no face shield, and the wind noise drowned out my voice in the videos. There are some excellent examples of narration online, and I think this feature adds significantly to the quality of the videos you create.


Which one’s for you? It would take a deep trip into the weeds to explore every function and foible with these cameras, many of which could affect how you proceed. By all means, please speak with many users before making your choice. The point-and-shoot simplicity of the GoPro is a definite plus, as well as its multiple modes of shooting and flexibility in mounting, especially the compatibility with RAM mounts. While I did come to hate those two buttons atop the Sena Prism, I found the Bluetooth connectivity features of the Senas to be the differentia- tors. However, Sena really needs to step it up with mounting flexibility. There is an accessory motorcycle mounting kit avail- able, but my preference is to use the much more rugged RAM mount system. If you’d like to see the story I shot in Aus-


tralia, you can view it online at vimeo. com/166384118.
