Video Camera's
 

For those of you who have video on your bike... what kind of cam you using?

any of you using a helmet mounted camera? (Trip) if so what kind?


I'm looking at getting one... but I'm not sure what I want. I think I wanna stick to cannon... just because I tend to trust their optics a little more than others.


I've even thought about an HD cam... but I'm not sure I'm ready to blow 800+ on a camera that's gonna be attached to my bike :lol:

helmetcamera.com middle resolution cam tied to a Canon Elura 100.

considering that you'll probably be posting vids on sites like youtube, photobucket, etc. theres not much point in an HD cam. it would be friggin cool as hell tho. just get a real solid tank mount :lol:

Have recorded 100's of ride vids. From

Digital cameras in movie mode on a universal mount:

to a helmetcamera.com bullet cam feeding a Sony MiniDV in fanny pack:

to all-in-one bullet cams recording to a memory card cam:

Each has its + and -'s.

Have recorded HD ride vids and on a big screen LCD monitor it appears as if one is right there on the ride. Need a big horsepower PC to edit the video, and you won't be able to pass it around via the web in HD format for the bit rate is enormous.

nice... I'll have to check out all those links tonight when I get home.


yeah I figured the bit rate would be HUGE on the HD ones... but damn it'd be nice to have... :drool:

I've been thinking about this. If I had the money, I would buy this in a second... seems fucking mint:

I usually let the girl I go riding with lead the way for a pleasant view while riding.
