...some nice footage of Knockhill on that link too, Phuk.

I want one of these now too!

The Oregon ATC2000 one seems to be the popular choice, but I've see them on t'internet at Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£78, a lot less than the Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100 on the Firefox site.

Tripple Whopper W/Cheese and King Size onion ring combo?

Speaking of which, I had one recently a the military base south of here (no Burger Kings in Japan, around here at least). Damned thing had me farting and belching for three days.

The main problem with the oregon camera is wind noise . I will check out if it's possible to use a plug in mic with'm , the pic quality from what I've seen is still average , maybe I'm aiming too high . I should have knocked off Dani's camera when I had his bike BUGGER

Depends what you want really.

I just wanted cheap and cheerful so that I could record a bit of on bike footage which is why I bought what I did. I intend to get another bullet cams so I can forward and rear facing and then merge them together.

Wind noise is a bit of a pain but you can just overlay music or just not worry about it.

But what I love most is that they are self contained units - no wires, no need for external power etc.

Problem is cost goes up very quickly if you go much beyond these type of bullet cams.

Or maybe my expectatiosn are low?

phuk72 I was looking at old PIsland footage I did with a pencil camera the pict is ok added to the sound mic in the ducks arse it is good . As you say I ran cables and power supplies ets , pain to set up . I will look at you tube and try to show it . Even thou I ran it to a sony hc30 camera which was always a problem if I crashed , bloody camera is worth more than my bike , I like the idea of the remote locations of a camera ( oregon ) . I used 2 plug in cameras wired thru a switch on the handle bars so i could change views will riding . Works well except for the cheap cameras.

Just had a look at video footage done with Oregon camera by swifty on his R6 at Broadford . Picture quality is very good , sound is ok may need to cover the mic with foam to reduce wind which wasn't too bad , could hear the exhaust note fairly well . He had the camera switch itself off similar to peter850 comments . It was the first outing with the camera so we don't know yet if it will be a problem mounted to the bike as opposed to mounting on the helmet , has anyone here brought one yet , any problems

Two mates same problem. Helmet seems better.

As usual I'm a late starter with technology, but I'd like to get a camera set up for myself - something to show the grandkids when I reach "the older I am, the faster I was stage".

Watched phuk's Mallory footage - and had a laugh at Max's comments, but I guess what I'm after is a conclusion. Which is the best value system to use? Or did I have an OOOSDC moment?

Best for ease of use and VFM is this
