    I’ve just got a Veho HD7 – havent had a chance to play with it so far. Bu t it feels good, and has a few mounts. The reviews are good and you can get one for about 85 quid.

    veho muvi pro..ebay around £35. Budget for the waterproof case too. I fashioned together a helmet mount from some 5mm persepx and industrial velcro for around £3.

    other films under the forum name as well as examples.

    I got a really cheap £35 one to start it was pretty crap tbh! After watching a few home made bike vids on Vimeo and asking what they were filmed on I bought a Tachyon XC camera. You can pick them up second hand for between £50 / £70. The picture quality is ok and they are waterproof to about 7 metres. There is no substitute for proper HD on something like a gopro though.

    thanks NCB..the pro version ups the frame rate to 30fps over the standard 20fps.
    8gb class 6 card too takes around 90mins of footage.
    the limiting aspect is battery life but I have a mini usb charger running off 2 AA lithium batteries that I just plugged it in to on the lifts to keep it topped up.
    I think battery normally last about 90 minutes but might deplete sooner over the course of a day with stop and starting.
