Title: Helmet Cam???
Post by: Fast4fun on February 14, 2009, 12:53:39 PM
I'm reading the review in Cycle World of the VHOLDR pocket cam and was wondering what people use to record their races. It seems that Vholdr and Oregon Scientific have very similar cameras that would produce a high enough quality picture for very cheap. In fact, the Oregon is only a little more than a C note. Does anybody have experience with these? Recommendations??

I just picked up a Go-Pro Hero cam the other day, after having watched vids a couple friends put together.  It's small, runs off AAA batteries and a sd card.  It comes with tons of mounts, and makes great images.

Highly recommended.

+1 on the go pro. you will hear people complain about it, but it is by far the best value for the money.
