next time i guess
What make is that camera that you had attached to your helmet? I saw you walking round with it but didn't get a chance to ask you about it.
Is it decent enough quality/resolution? Audio? Memory size? Does it have removable memory?
Sorry for all the questions but I have been in the market for something like this for a while now. This is what I would like (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SCX105.../dp/B0007QN8AG) but I can't find one anymore...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...313372-9938850
it was an "Oregon Scientific ATC 2000"
i got it off trademe new for $250.
waterproof to 3 metres, seen video of one falling from a model rocket from 1900 feet and the video didn't even cut when it hit the ground, and i met a guy at the ride with one who had put it on his fairings and given it a bit of road rash - still worked fine
takes SD memory cards up to 2GB, at max settings a 2GB card (about $30) will last an hour, two alkaline AA batteries seem to last around 2 hours. usb to get it on your computer, and functions as a mass storage device, so no drivers or special software included/needed.
No cables needed either. Just turn her on and go.
comes with mounts for various applications, but I found a combination of "furry" velcro on the camera and 3M Dual Lock (both self adhesive) is the best way to stick it to your helmet - good to atleast 140kph on helmet
the video quality is what you would expect for $250. max settings are 640 by 480 at 30 frames per second. sound it ok, especially considering the mic is inside the body, but wind noise over 80kph is a serious problem (might actually be my bike's cam gears, but doubt it). i'm yet to make a wind sock to see if i can fix it.
note that resolution is much higher than youtube video, so for that purpose this camera can be run at much lower settings.
i found attaching to the tank was ok, but it needed duct tape to stabilise it or it flops around too much. on the helmet it is stable, isn't too heavy, and doesn't create much drag, but it take a bit to get the aim right as there is no live feed, so you have to put it on, sit on bike, take it off, load onto computer, adjust and repeat - i think i'll mark the mount points on my helmet lol.
so all that considered it was much cheaper and easier than buying a $400 bullet cam and hooking that up to a $1200 video recorder, and i don't have to worry about anything breaking on impact, especially when i try it on the dirt bike, but isn't exactly high def.
will try to post raw video sample asap
