Video Camera
Looking for a lightweight camera for the helmet or bike mounting. What are people using? GoPro seems the obvious, But have come across Muvi?
Re: Video Camera
Everyone raves about the GoPro, but I suppose it depends what you want it for...I've not sure my riding deserves 1080p
I've got one of the older Keycams that are reviewed here (HD808 #11 I think): http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2012/2/6/w ... amera.html and can be had from eBay pretty cheaply. Seems to do the job, but can be fiddly to set-up/position.
If you've got the money I think GoPro is the answer...
Cheers

Re: Video Camera
DNF,
GoPro here https://vimeo.com/32699863 and used on last WRT.
Mostly bar mounted using the GoPro Mount with some old inner tube as bar wrap.
Currently playing around with some MYOG mounts to get some more varied shots (without using a dedicated helmet mount).
Not cheap but good quality results even with my ham-fistedness at work.

Re: Video Camera
if money's no object then GoPro seem the best quality but i use a Kodak 'Playsport ZX3'.
the zx5 is newer and the same price but has an inbuilt battery as opposed the removable one in the zx3.
they're much cheaper and work great!
take a look at some results here.
