video Setup?

Wade · May 7th, 2009, 07:06 PM

Hey Guys i was really wanting to record my rides and am looking for the right camera.
I want one that will mount onto the bike easily AND not require too many things being stuck to the bike that will / could damage the paintwork.
these are the 2 i have currently seen that might work.

The vholdr looks the best but its verry expensive so i was wondering if anyone else knows of a cheaper / better option?

GoPro Hero is always a winner.

I just picked up a JVC Everio GZ-MS120BU. Haven't had a chance to use it due to crappy weather. I fully intend to post vids when I use it. Kind of expensive, but I wanted minimum of 720p and the ability to use it for other stuff as well.

Personally the simpler the better in my opinion, buy you a slim profile camera that can easily slip into your helmet without obstructing your view, and thats that. This is the setup a lot of the motorcycle vloggers are using, I think mordeth13 and svengalie use a more complicated setup though. However the Go pro cams are good in certain uses, and the quality is decent as well. At the moment I have been using my older full frame camera and I just cut a hole in my tank bag to mount it on the tank, decent setup but I like to do actual vlogs so I need something that has the mic right in my helmet eventually.

Yeah atm i was kinda looking at just video no audio atm. But i would someday probably like to add my ramblings to the video. The only problem is i dont like anything sitting in my helmet at all.
