Here are some links.

The camera sucks unless you get the jelly wide lens.

I just ordered one, and I'll take some video with it when I get it and post to show how it is.

Mini Spy Camera DV Video DVR Sports Recorder MD80 30FPS | eBay

Jelly Lens Wide Angle Fish Eye for Camera Cell Phone | eBay

about 20 bucks isn't bad(free shipping!), it takes pretty good video if I remeber right.

Just letting the guys know that want a helmet cam, but are too cheap like me to buy a gopro

That video is taken with one of them

wow that is a pretty good deal just remember you have to buy a micro sd card for the camera i would say those start around 8 or 9 dollars but still waaaayyyy cheeper than my GoPro!!

99Polaris500 · 06-22-2011, 09:42 PM

I think it has 2 hours of recording without a memory card.

I will just upload it on the computer when ever record

cam615 · 06-22-2011, 09:47 PM

And how was that mounted to your helmet?

99Polaris500 · 06-23-2011, 08:25 AM

Well that video wasnt me.

But I know the guy from a different snowmobile website and he just cliped it on the brim of his helmet.

I've got com units that are held on with velcro, and it moves alot!

cam615 · 06-23-2011, 04:06 PM

com units?

Yamaha440 · 06-23-2011, 04:07 PM

Intercom

cam615 · 06-23-2011, 04:07 PM

oh gotcha

**kccats** · 06-23-2011, 04:26 PM

I was worried how the camara mounted and how much head movement affected the video?

This is the best way, I just found on youtube.

**kccats** · 06-24-2011, 07:05 AM

So does the camara have an internal ballancer or something?

Yamaha440 · 06-24-2011, 08:52 AM

I would not imagine so. I have a digital camera fro, when they first came out. It takes poop video quality, and don't think it had internal balancer. I mounted it to my bumper, and it was pretty steady though.

cam615 · 06-24-2011, 10:11 AM

I know he GoPro's have digital image stabilization (whatever that is) but i know it works pretty darn well

99Polaris500 · 06-27-2011, 05:53 PM

I just wanted to let any one that is intersted know that you do have to get a micro sd card or the camera will not work.

The 2 hour built in thing is just battery life.
