suitable camcorder for commuting

infopete

Hi

I've been having trouble with a farmer/bully on my may to work recently. I've reported him to the police (a few times) but as I live in the middle of nowhere there are never any witnesses.

I'm considering fitting a small camcorder to my bike.

I don't wear a helmet and I'm not likely to start wearing one so I'm looking for something that is suitable to fit to the bike.

I've seen this listed:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Veho-VCC-003-Ca ... B0029631VI

And it appears to be ideal.

Any suggestions?

I've no alternative suggestions, but I can say the output from that is much better than my Starnex CamBall, judging by the videos I've just checked out on YouTube. May get one myself, and write the CamBall off.

Hi

I've found the same product (different branding) on ebay for much less and it looks like it includes the sports pack.

I'm going to buy one and I'll let you know how I get on.

If you're interested I've added the link:

Something I noticed in that clip on the ebay listing was the focus appeared to be poor. It was not easy to read passing number plates and being in a car would dampen vibration more than on a bicycle.

Hi,

Yes I was concerned about the vibration if I stick it on my handlebars too.

I'm currently planning to try it just hanging around my neck and see how that goes.
