Helmet Cam

[Boscher]

Hi guys

I am looking for a helmet camcorder to attached to my cycling helmet.

I have done a little googling and I've read up on the "Dogcam"'s and they seem to possibly be suitable...

I am a complete camcorder noob, I basically want to be able to go out do a couple of hours footage with reasonable quality, then somehow upload it onto my PC (via usb?). I hope to do whole rides, then speed them up a bit, and then some editing before uploading and sending to friends who came with me on the ride - nothing too fancy.


Anyway I would like to know how easy it is to do the above, and if anyone has any experience using Head Mounted Cameras.

Thanks !

A guy at work here, just bought a cheap digi cam (£40 ish) from fleabay, some of that hard as nails velcro stuff and stuck it to the front of his bike. He gets good results albeit at 640x400 (or whatever the resolution is). He also puts it on the dashboard in his car!

You will probably need a decent sized sd card for couple of hours footage but check the camera to make sure they can handle large size sd's i.e 2Gb+
