Gear Reviews

Honest reviews from a rookie who's bought (and occasionally crashed with) it all. No sponsored scripts โ€” just honest takes (some links are affiliate links). Just a guy and his GS.

MotoMoku Review Philosophy

I'm not a professional reviewer. I'm a GenX rider who buys gear with his own money and uses it in real conditions โ€” UAE desert heat, Canadian cold, gravel tracks, and the occasional off-road tumble. These are my honest takes.

GoPro HERO 12 Black
Action Camera ยท Helmet Mount
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†
The workhorse of MotoMoku's camera setup. Reliable, compact, and produces great footage in Dubai heat. HyperSmooth stabilisation is genuinely impressive on rough roads.
Pros
  • Superb stabilisation
  • Waterproof out of the box
  • Compact on helmet
Cons
  • Battery life could be better
  • Gets hot in UAE summer
  • App is a bit clunky

Insta360 X3
360ยฐ Camera ยท Bike Mount
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…
The secret weapon of MotoMoku's ride footage. The invisible selfie stick effect is magical โ€” makes solo riding look cinematic without needing a crew. Changed how I shoot rides completely.
Pros
  • Incredible 360ยฐ flexibility
  • Invisible selfie stick magic
  • Great low-light performance
Cons
  • Heavy editing required
  • Large file sizes
  • Pricier than GoPro

Pros
  • Huge visibility boost
  • Easy GS installation
  • Very durable build
Cons
  • Premium price point
  • Some glare on reflective signs
