The camera looks real easy to use and real durable. Has anyone ever seen one or used one.

Second thing is I was wondering if all you race guys could attach pictures or links to you camera set up. I would like to get as many ideas I can before I start cutting race plastic.

Thanks all. See ya'll in about five weeks.

Is this what you are running? Looks kind of pricey.

I don't have a personal camera.  When I've done my own stuff, I duct tape a camera to my tank with the front shimmed with a sanding block. 

However, this was the stuff that we were looking at.  Got the information from http://www.motovid.com...as we do a lot of work together.

There are a lot of options out there for various quality/price range.  My goal was to be able to burn high Quality DVD's and watch them on a TV so when I'm old I can remember where all my money went.  I also downsize them and post to Youtube.  I'm howlieboy there too.

Check out http://www.helmetcamera.com/  The quality is the best I found for the money.  With the right camcorder, your looking at a $800.00 investment.  As far as durability, I've crashed very hard on the bullet camera twice now.  It's scratched very badly, but works perfect.

The major drawback is the price and the fact you have to mount a $400.00 camcorder that does not crash well on your bike.  Luckily, you can fit a twelve pack in the nose of the GSXRS so it mounts up nicely.

Good luck...

Check this posting out: http://www.ccsforum.com/index.php/topic,17956.0.html

I have the ATC-2000 from oregan scientific. Good camera for $80. I have 2, one looking forward one looking backwards.

Go to video.google.com and do a search on ASRA Solo, you'll see my videos.

right now I'm in the process of uploading 1GB of video footage from the VIR Solo Challenge.

I'll post pictures of my camera setup this weekend. I had it setup for my CBR600RR but now I took it off. going to install it on the zx10 this weekend.
