Is the field of view wide enough to be useful if mounted on a bike helmet?

It varies depending on how far away the sight object is since it has 2x zoom and is i think 720 by 400 screen footage with 30 fps.

You won't get as much light for the money (1000 lumens)...with a helmet mount it works just fine.

In a field probably. In a forest, I highly doubt it. They are great binocs but BIG and I think there are better devices for that kind of yardage. However trying them out for the money woulnt be bad as if you couldn't really use em for that, there would be other uses for them. I really like mine.

Most definitely. Though the sight does not enable you to see extremely long distances it is extremely good for close quarters. You will have no problem using it in the woods I use mine for finding the treestand before daylight.

Wide Angle lens works best when you need to see ahead of you. I tried with and without and I really like the way the light is concentrated in the front of the bike.

You cannot tell. You would have to ride and test it. Or it can be mounted on your helmet & it will see what yiu see...

Yes it will, but if you ride on the right side of the road, you probably want to mount it on the left side of your helmet, so you can see traffic approaching from the left rear. That has worked for me. I'm not sure how beneficial mounting it on the right side of the helmet would be, unless you ride on the left side of the road in Britain or another country that has different traffic rules.

I have no experience with one other than the built in optical finder. I suppose one of the shoe finders in the 50 to 55mm range made for full frame cameras might give an approximate field of view. I think some are sold under the Voightlander brand name, but watch out for size because some can be large for so small a camera. Sorry I can't be of much help. Don.

It would, but you wouldn't be able to fit much else. A sleeker bike helmet definitely, but hunter/jumper riding helmet maybe not...

Try adjusting the pitch of the screen to be further from the visor or shield of your helmet. The attachment kit is flexible enough to work on my bike - and I ride an 81 goldwing interstate (no stock fairing) and max is a beast. I have to imagine it can work for you asWell - admittedly I have replacedThe windscreen with a batwing fairing but I use the same hardware to mount the fairing as I did this windscreen. It's good - I never had any issues running this windshield.

Not really, if you're in a stadium it will shoot a panoramic shot of the entire field, but everything will appear smaller. You may want to try reading this article, as it all depends on what sport your shooting...it will give you an idea of what to look for. http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/07/23/the-best-lenses-for-sports-photography-and-ideal-focal-lengths-to-use/

Yes. The field of view is very large. The lenses cover a pretty wide area, as well as top to bottom. This combined with the completely adjustable angle and lens placement afforded by the adjustable hinge joint allows you to have an extremely large sweet spot with the lenses. This meshes beautifully with progressive lenses.

Hi Lisa.. I measured the helmet viewing lens today.. its actually a pretty large viewing area, it is 5in high by 4in long. Having read what the others wrote.. they didnt sound right.. Sooo, Im at my daughter/son in laws for the week end and measured it. I hope this helps.

Yes, very much so. I just compared it again to a Brunton 7x18 monocular that I had previously purchased for when I'm stuck in a Mezzanine seat. The Vortex has a very wide field of view. It lets in a ton of light and the image is therefore very bright - ideal for low light situations.

I think a camera would mount fine. A gocam pro or something of that size should mount on it just fine. It has Velcro easily accessible and the helmet is very sturdy. I have not done it personally but it seems like it would be easy

Actually the claimed eye relief is 17.5, which I find just about totally adequate for my use with glasses. So long as I take care and don't let them move around on my lenses, I can see the full field of view, which I haven't come close to seeing with any other optics in my life.

Yes you can...you can mount it to the top of your helmet or the side...when you download your video you can rotate the image if you like...
