Techalogic CR-1 Advice, please
My new camera arrived - one of the above.
I'm happy with it for the price, and the "rear view mirror" option seems great.
Two questions:
1 - It does not seem to have a "click to mark video time" function, so I am I correct I need to develop a good memory for time points in a video?
2 - Can anyone suggest a suitable inexpensive Smartphone to use with it, as I am not keen to have my normal phone on the front of the bike? Ideally I'd be able to use the same phone for navigating etc.
Cheers
Matt

Thank-you for the comments all.
Touch screen smart phones start at £5 at CEX. I don't think there is a way to mark points on the recording on the camera but there may be a 'one touch' way to mark a point or take a photo if you're using a phone as a rearview camera. When I use my DC-1 with the Roadcam app on my phone there is a 'take photo' button on screen. If not you can always pull over and take a screenshot as Tom_77 suggested.
If you take a screenshot on your phone (on Android press the power and volume down buttons at the same time) then the screenshot will have a time stamp. So that's one way to record the time of incidents.

Personally I'm not so sqeamish about mounting my phone on the stem: I'd rather have it up front than burning up next to my kidneys in the case of an off. I use a Quad Lock set up on mine, it simply works.
