A rubber cover protects the micro-HDMI and mini-USB ports to the rear they're waterproof anyway but the cover stops crud getting into them, so make sure you secure it. Out of the box the camera is IP67 water- and dustproof, meaning that if you drop it in a puddle there'll be no ill effects, so long as the puddle isn't over a metre deep and you don't leave it there longer than an hour. There's a Garmin-to-GoPro adapter that allows you to use your existing mounts, if you have some already. The hardware is a different spec to that of the GoPro and other mountable cameras like the Nilox – it's a chunkier system and it feels solid in use. You do look a bit like the Predator though. That's more for skydivers and snowboarders and the like but can also be used on the bike you get less bumpy footage than from the bars and the video doesn't swing away every time you move your head. You can also get a harness mount that puts the camera on your shoulder. A bike handlebar mount is extra, but definitely worth considering if you're intending to shoot vids mostly from two wheels. In the box you get the camera itself and a couple of sticky mounts, designed to be adhered to a helmet, snowboard, car bonnet or wherever else you fancy. It's a different approach with some unique features, and if you specifically want to capture your rides, with data, then this is the probably camera for you, assuming you can justify the outlay.
