HKr1 December 7th, 2008, 02:00 PM I bought a GoPro, seems pretty simple and easy to use. I had bought it used from a dude, it seemed to have a problem. GoPro replaced it with a bran new one, no questions asked. Thought that was pretty awesome service, for not even having a warranty(not buying it new) :thumbup: kkim December 7th, 2008, 04:34 PM If you want an easy, cheap video of your rides, most digital still cameras now days have a movie or video mode on them That's what I used to shoot the vid of my ride.

What kinda camera you got? My fuji does pretty good on vids, the cannon... eats up memory quick. This is what I thought about getting before the gopro. http://www.cedigital.com/xcart/product.php?productid=137&cat=77&page=1 kkim December 7th, 2008, 05:35 PM What kinda camera you got?

It has a wider angled fisheye lens which takes in more of the surrounding view as you travel as opposed to the just straight ahead view of all the other cameras and takes real nice videos. CynicalC April 13th, 2011, 06:43 PM I don't think you can beat the GoPro HD right now for the price. http://vimeo.com/11350715 yo3M6EB8kmk sowega April 14th, 2011, 07:32 AM Here are some vids I shot with my GoProHD: http://youtu.be/jTDZUG-ZsO8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-r4ERNUp_k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Knoqvx76U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flNwlO09aZw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr6idD2x3Gk SteveL April 14th, 2011, 07:39 AM GoPro amazing quality superb range of mounts does what it says on the box. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIGaC1Tu9R4 Steve Scott1620 April 14th, 2011, 08:21 AM I have a Drift Innovation X170 which is a pretty nice small camera with many different mounting options - Ram, helmet, handlebar, tripod mounts - less expensive than the Go Pros.

They also have an HD one as well that is supposed to be pretty great. How are still photos on yours? I just ordered the Drift Stealth HD170 from ebay for pretty cheap! Heres a review: http://www.webbikeworld.com/r4/drift-hd-170/ Nemesis April 14th, 2011, 08:22 AM GoPro HD FTW! Seriously...it powns all! trex April 14th, 2011, 08:28 AM god...how they hell are they cutting down on vibration so much? i am trying to make a camera mount for my car and there is just sooo much vibration... Fly'in Ninja April 14th, 2011, 11:26 AM GoPro HD has got my vote! :thumbup: slolane April 14th, 2011, 01:35 PM GoPro HD :thumbup: Here is the last one I took... On my 50" at home it's true HD, very nice quality, the upload cut it down a little but still looks good... lr0it_RSuIc sowega April 15th, 2011, 02:56 PM There are several mounts that cut vibration; the RAM mounts are particularly forgiving. patw April 15th, 2011, 04:02 PM $80 camera + $4 velcro with minimal vibration http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22638 gogoKawi April 15th, 2011, 04:15 PM You have a lot of possibilities. You can either by an actioncam like the GoPro or Drift. You can MacGyver it with some velcro and a small cam like the MD80. Or you can buy a mount and use the digital cam you already have. Choices are good! My setup is: Camera Mount (http://www.amazon.com/Delkin-Devices-DDMOUNT-MINI-Knuckle-Suction/dp/B002K8Q0EU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1302909069&sr=8-2) Kodak Playsport (http://www.amazon.com/Kodak-PlaySport-Waterproof-Pocket-Camera/dp/B0030MITDK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1302909087&sr=1-1) Works beautifully. |
