cam cost £12 delivered

home made attachment 😉

Private vid 🙁

boooo its private!

oops, hang on

try it now

nice , great little cam for the money, 12 squid is fukall for a cam really, oh btw, your pads sounds like they are metal to meatal , cheers keep up the good work.

Yup – works now. You're getting better results than I've managed so far – all my vids are unwatchable due to mahoosive shakiness 🙁 I wonder if it's due to my using industrial velcro which might be allowing some movement? I'll try taping the thing on next ride….

ingenious mount you have fashioned there, would have been better stuck to the headtube maybe, not bad for 12 quid though.

too many cables for headtube attachment, they would have been in the shot all the time, mount it lower down maybe on the fork crown and (i love to say!) dust would have been a problem

i was suprised it wasn't shakier especially with the rigid forks, i did do a much more technical trail but the folliage managed to turn the cam off buy hitting the power button!

Where did you get it from for £12? I'll happily pay double for one!

i got mine via this thread £2.89 + £10 delivery, think listing maybe over now though

TBH I'm totally sick of 5 minute vids of my left hand / the sky / the scenery passing by at 90 degrees, so I just bought a set of these bad boys;

camera sunglasses

Even if the vids are still cr@p, at least the camera will be pointing in the direction I want!

wow! stealthy! you'll feel right like james bond with them on 🙂

Hmmm – prolly feel like a d1ck but will fulfill a childhood fantasy if nothing else….

Excellent (if a bit dodgy in a stalker type way)

ive got one of them, had a go with it last night up in the peak but had the angle wrong so just shot the ground right in front of my wheel. its a shame the memory cards cost another £20 on top otherwise id have a few more but its still a bargain

£20?
i got an 8G class 6 for £11

nice vid. where abooots is that trail?

off the Beacon (near Lickey Hills)

really? do you have a link?

shame it didnt like being fixed to my forks though

http://vimeo.com/11293575

awesome bit of video that !

On Amazon for £22?

I bought one as well (and the higher priced uk spec muvi one).

The uk £65 muvi one broke the first ride, which I wasn't impressed with at all.

The cheapo £12 one from HK is going reasonabley well, it's taken me a few runs to get it to be at the right angle. It's also taken a proper whack when mounted on my helmet and I didn't quite duck a branch. Still working.

i assume you mean rocketdog's goog, im going to pretend you were talking to me though lol

Made this as a more permenant fixing solution. Held in place with large O ring.
Ps Where did you get card from
Dave E

Card link is above

is it the same as this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mini-DV-pocket-Sports-Video-Camera-Cam-SpyCam-DVR-spy-3-/180497603251?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_Video_Camcorders&hash=item2a067edab3#ht_4956wt_773

?

thanks, the video looks really good for the price.

also, the link you refer to for the card is dead, was there a specific brand or anything to look for or is it just a case of looking for the highest class you can find?

oh and can you turn off the date being recorded?

yea that's exactly the same one,… 99p!! i was robbed 🙂

micro sd 8g class 6 here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8GB-CLASS-6-MICRO-SD-SDHC-MEMORY-CARD-NOKIA-E90-N95-/220394088839?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_PDAsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item335082e987 £12.99 free postage (this is who i bought mine from)

you can crop the date off by changing the screen size, but you need to download some free software, have a look on youtube there are lots of tutorials

so will any micro SD card do or is class 6 high speed best

FYI they work much much better without the 'smearing' if you get good light. Obviously tricky in the UK, but we took a couple boarding and they were very good indeed.

not sure riggsy, but faster card is usually better

rocketdog is yours one of the high speed cards???

Yep

The data transfer rate for class 2 is more than adequate for these little cameras. The biggest problem is whether they really are class 2/4/6 or just lower performance fakes. Almost impossible to tell, but some of the prices which are being mentioned on here I would be suspicious!
