    i'd go for the ATC 2000. 100 notes with a 2 gig card and it 's a case of strap to your lid and off you go.

    In fact i did and i'm well pleased.

    Then ypu plug it into your PC or tv when you get home and down load and it works as a usb memory card.

    Make sure you get the position of the ATC2K right if you use it as a helmet cam.
    It's tricky to get it right but the video footage is good.
    As a handlebar cam it's good on smooth forest tracks but is too choppy over rocky terrain.

    I've tried mine strapped under the saddle and that has good footage too.

    it's not finished uploading server side enough to be able to watch yet, just give it some time


    that's me filming a friend using it with the camera positioned on my handlebars, we're doing around 10 foot gap - 8 foot gap jumps using it, not bad just you get better footage from it being placed on a helmet (just mine refuses to give it a solid base to get footage from)

    Yeah. I've even packaged it back up *exactly* as it came :wink: the only difference is this one has had its packaging carefully cut to open it (and it was used once). also i dunno if it comes with batteries but there's a couple of duracells in there heh.
