dragolith Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Anybody use them?As its Summer, I have got myself one so I can take in the sights and re live my rides. Works great and I can even talk into it clearly too.Doubles up as a stills camera so I can stop and take snaps.Does anybody else document their rides this way?

Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I take videos as pillion as I don't have anything better to do, so I can't help with the bike mounted cameras I do love seeing videos though, so I guess they're worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragolith Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Mines actually fitted inside the helmet so I can talk into it and much less wind noise. Kind of use it as a video blog too, also can comment on what you see.Its an £80 Fujifilm, with SD capability, so unlimited storage (2GB clip at once mind).Yeah I love watching ride videos too, and I saw some awesome sights the other week which made me do this.

Bill_on_a_bike Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 dragolith is your cam designed to fit in a helmet? Or is it just a digital camera you've modded to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sk93 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Once I have the pennies I will get getting one. Wanted one from day one, but decided could not afford it. webcam and old laptop in a tankbag.. has worked fine for me for years GALLONS of recording space.. decentish resolution (if you dont buy a £7 webcam...) and pretty good battery life to boot.plus.. adding more cameras is an "easy to do" task Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
