On board cameras

[bobgazza]

Does anyone have ideas where I can obtain one of those miniature onboard cameras that you can attach to a digital camcorder. I'm hopefully off to the alps next year and would like to capture a bit of it on the move.

Cheers

I went downhill mountain biking in the French Alps this year in June with one of the RF Concepts cameras attached to a Sony Mini DV cam. Wow, great footage at great quality. There is quite a lot to buy though (all in all will be around 250quid) and a weak point is the 9v battery pack connector cable so get a few spares. Also get yourself the remote record switch because when everything is tucked away in your backpack or whatever you can just press that button to start recording.

Ive got one to ,

done loads of movies on various bikes and roads , only prob is that Ive no where to host em ....

bout a meg a min is normal compression and some of my films are over an hour long ... and trust me u wouldn't wanna miss out any of it

well maybe the bits waiting at the lights ...

hope to seem em soon tho ..
best place Ive found to mount the cam is on the side of the light bar , it soaks up all the vibes and give a crystal clear pic , Ive tried loads of other places and they all seem to transmit the bikes vibes straight to the cam making the pic break up and go fuzzy ..... just food for thought
