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)

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.

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. 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.

GoPro HD
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... |

There are several mounts that cut vibration; the RAM mounts are particularly forgiving.

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 Kodak Playsport Works beautifully. |
