Something I can mount on my helmet, that's easy to use, rechargeable, and will record an hour at a time with sound.
It would also be nice if it fits a motorcycle helmet.
£50-ish max price. No GoPros!!

Cheers 🙂

No idea if it's any good but a mate of mine has just found one of these on EBay for £33 incl postage so he ordered me one too. It might fit the bill.

I've been using an "808 #18 HD keychain camera" and found it to be excellent for the £30ish it cost. It's the size of a key fob, and about a quarter of the weight - a 20mm square of velcro is adequate to hold it in place. If you have a look on YouTube you'll find a load of footage taken by aero ode ling types, but not a lot of MTB film. Look for the version with the 120 degree lens.

Only drawback is it's not waterproof.
