I want to invest in one as my Nikon L10 prolly wont stand up to much more abuse. :( Just wondering what you fellas (and girls - if there are any) use and why?

I have seen some good and not so good reviews and videos from the atc3000, and it is quite tempting. Same with the 2000 model and the VholdR. I think £200 would probably be my limit but if i could spend less, and get a crisp image and decent angle of view that would be cool :D

    There's a motorcyclist out there who says he films his rides like this

    With a road bike helmet, you can simulate this technique by gripping the camera with your teeth.

    I think I would spend the £200 on a weekend away, or Triathlon entry fees....sadly. Are you doing an adventure trip or something downfader? or is this just for commuting?

    TBH it mostly for commuting, but I do ride for fun and want to film my routes. I also want it for other stuff like recording me playing guitar/drums :oops: :lol: I'll prolly use it on all sorts like I have my nikon L10. :)
