i'm sure i've asked this before, but it was more than a fortnight ago and i'm sure the technology's moved on and prices will have halved by now...

what bullet cam/recorder combo is the way to go?

price sensitive

Fleabay has varying bits and pieces for sale. One I looked at was more expensive than from RFC.

i saw that, but there was plenty about bullet cams, but i didn't see much about specific recorders to plug it into.

loads of acronyms too. WTF is LANC?

WTF is LANC?

It's normally pluralised and is short for Lancashire.

In the alternative, it could be a remote zoom control interface.

these people seem on the ball. they're not keen on archos though...

"IMPORTANT: Limitations of the archos range of hard disk recorders.

This is what we have found out about this unit since we started retailing it. The Archos range is limited to a 640x480 capture resolution at 2500kbs (amount of video samples per second) it is also quite a delicate device. The Archos does not like to be shaken or vibrated. Users have reported file corruption and system shut downs. We can only reccomend using an Archos as a recording device for your helmet camera system if you are doing very low impact activities. We also reccomend padding this device as much as possible to eliminate these problems.

If you're looking for a device that can withstand these conditions better then you should consider a camcorder set up or the PVR300r hard disk recorder. The PVR300r can record at 720x576 and 4000kbs so the video quality is much higher. Also, the PVR300r has a built-in anti-shock memory to stop loss of video when being shaken around. Please see PVR300r hard disk video recorder for more details.

UPDATE: For the time being we have decided to stop selling Archos units but we'll continue to monitor the progress of these devices."

...and they can't spell recommend
