Good effort.... looked good, did you smile for that speed camera at about 2.50.....Well done...

Those cameras, I always accelerate hard, and give 'em the V

I assume when on your bike and not in the car....

Depends if my front bumper is on or off 

[tunnie]

....
thought about it there, going to try it, trouble is its going to vibrate a lot. Helmet / body takes that away, screen flaps about a bit at high speed 

Mmmm? Never thought about the vibration .....  :-/

Vibrations will be small, but will make image blurry i think.  Needs to be high up too, and the top part of the screen moves a bit (i fitted pattern one which is taller)

Its almost right, don't think its ever going to be as good as professional systems.

Mines fitted looking THROUGH the screen, minimal wind noise, and vibration, but sometimes a bit "flarey" when in bright sunshine.

Must get one of these for the Westfield when it's back together. Always fancied putting one on the nosecone, about 4" from the tarmac.

HDVR 720 from http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/minidvr-h720-bullet-camera-system.html

bit of a price difference though I think....

Can't knock it for the money, re-chargeable battery built in! Work colleague mentioned they are so cheap, i should get a second and also mount that low down, by the front folks and do some cut to shots in the corners

Looks good, part of the problem with my camera is the angle, it can't go directly on top of the helmet.

Its hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like the HDVR 720 can be taken out of the head set? Shame you can't just buy the camera on its own

Just don't look down at the speedo when you are wearing it, there has been more than one documented case where the police have used helmet cam evidence to support a speeding procsecution!!

(i.e  we can see he was doing over 100 on the cam, therefore no defence possible.....)

I fancy fitting a cam in the Mig, with the ammount of knobs heads on the roads these days would be nice to have some video evidnce.

Tunnie, don't forget to take it off when you go to the loo

Don't worry Pete, it hasn't got zoom

It's the macro lens we're worried about.

Sadly your all going to be disappointed, they don't do wide angle lenses

I certainly do remember them.

Always like idea of a helmet camera for the bike, after watching things like Long Way Around, fancied doing my own. (both the trip and mounting a camera!) But with proper helmet camera systems costing £500+ tight wad student here did it on the bodge!

Video taken with this £12.99 camera from eBay (which some mugs are paying £45 for on a UK auction! I bought from Hong Kong just had to wait a month...)

Its 720p, frame rate is low at just 30fps, but looks ok on video! Takes MicroSD card up to 16Gb

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250587031263

Of course in true tunnie style, i got the gaffer tape out:



Results are not too bad, angle is a tad wrong, faces screen too much, but for £12.99 can't complain too much!

You might want to mute the sound and its just wind noise (oh and i know i need to update time stamp)
