[#2843695]

so i have this university project, and i need to get some footage of riders. i've decided i would like to have several cameras attached to single rider, with the intention of getting them to talk me through the footage.

thing is, my budget is £200. i'm tempted by purchasing 5 muvi cameras. anyone else with pearls of wisdom?

Here's a test of 2 £10 muvi clone things, plus a couple of seconds of a cheap aiptek (around the 16s mark). Note: it's very dull. Just checking mount locations.

I think the quality is OK and several camera angles could make for some interesting footage.

5thElefant - looks good. have you got a link for the camera?

mr brightside - that looked all right too, but i couldn't find any UK suppliers. it'd be good to get it sooner rather than later!

I assume they're not HD as they record in 4:3 not 16:9. I've cropped the video to 16:9, which is kind of handy as there's a date stamp in the bottom right which you can't turn off!

I use Elements Premiere by-the-way (about £50). The editing software is at least as important as the camera.
