VHS or Beta?

Beat me to it lol!!!

i assume you don't refare to a helmet cam...

i had a sanyo xacti cheap and cheerful did me proud till i moved onto pastures greener, and got the 7d...

what sort of accessoires are you thinking of....

ah right then the only one i know of is a go pro unless you bodged a chest mount...

personally i aint a big fan of all this pov footage i think it gets boring unless the rider is good and the terrain being ridden..
a small amount of pov footage is ok mixed in with 3rd person perspective..

imo you get far better results with a camera on a tripod shooting 3rd person perspective.. the hassle is well worth the finished results...

Quite frankly a GoPro stuck to somebody's helmet looks absolutely ridiculous so wouldn't put anything on my helmet

Want to look your best for the blokes out on the trails huh.

I've had one of these for a while:

Waterproof to 5m and shock resistant. I put a 16gb SD in it and have taken it surfing and spearfishing as well as fannying about in the sea and swimming pools with the kids.

Pretty easy to bosh up some attaching method to your chosen toy and cheap enough not to hurt when it eats shit/sinks/gets lost etc etc.
