Hello All,
I hope this is the right place for this topic, are there any people out there who do any on-the-fly filming of their rides via helmet or on-bike cams?
I'm interested to know what people use and what they would recomend...
Thanks
Chris

I have a Canon Ixus 55 digital camera which i mount on a handlebar mount. Gives very good results I think.

With a 2gb card I get about 17mins of high quality footage. My next project is to make a helmet mount and see if that is any better than the handlebar mount just slightly worried how much of a dick i might look with a camera stuck on my helmet though :shock:

DR1V3R, thanks for the reply,
the camera does look good, but I was looking for something that is small and compact for helmet mounting. (bullet came style)
however, I am also looking for a 'shoot from the hip' static's camera too so that might be a handy option with the ability to film also.
any other inputs welcome0 -
Small thread hijack:

Wonder how the new iPod nano's would cope? Small enough to stick anywhere, and you can listen to your tunes at the same time!! 8) [off road only of course!]0

If you want a simple self contained one, I'd recommend the Helmet Hero Wide, lovely wee bit of kit... it's not particularily high res but the picture quality and stability is very good for a self contained unit at this price, in good light it's pretty impressive (and in bad light, it's entertainingly Blair Witchy) Certainly the best of the simple options I reckon. The Contour HD is nicer, but also spendier, and a bit bigger.
Seperates do give better quality, but they're also a lot more hassle- I had a pretty nice setup with a Vio camera and a JXD solid-state media player, which I used to good effect for motorbike stuff but it had too many wires and this one also needed seperate power supplies. Just a hassle really. The quality was better than my hero cam but not drastically.Uncompromising extremist0
