Third-party reviews

What customers like about Midland H3+

  • At 52 g it adds little weight to a helmet or handlebar.
  • Electronic stabilisation steadies footage on rough roads.
  • HDR mode keeps bright skies and shadows in one frame.
  • A 110 min battery covers a single outing.
  • The phone app controls the camera over Wi-Fi.
  • A dedicated bike mount suits cycling.

What customers don't like about Midland H3+

  • 1080p video runs at 30 fps at most, which looks choppy in fast action.
  • Charging takes 5 h, so you wait a long time between sessions.
  • At 41 mm thick the camera is bulky to carry.
  • The 120 ° view keeps less of the scene in frame.
  • Slow motion is limited to 60 fps.

Verdict

For a light camera that can ride on a handlebar, the Midland H3+ is worth a look. It records 1080p at up to 30 fps, which is enough for casual clips, though fast action can look choppy. Electronic stabilisation helps on bumpy roads, and HDR mode balances bright sky and dark shadows. Photos reach 16 MP, and a microSD card of up to 64 GB holds the footage. At 52 g and 29 mm high it is light enough for a helmet. The battery is the weak spot: 110 min covers a single outing, but charging takes 5 h. The phone app handles remote control over Wi-Fi. The trade-off is the body, which is 41 mm thick and feels bulky. It suits a cyclist or walker who wants a light camera for short outings and does not need 4K.
