A good helmet camera?

A duel recording camera from Oregeon Scientific (this means it's crap)

That looks cool. Maybe GoPro will release one like that for the HERO4.

What's everyone's opinion on the best low light camera, currently have the chilli tech HD cam from maplin, it's not bad but 1st winter using it and would prefer better results for next year and wondered what you all thought was best? Cheaper would be better but this is for next winter

Looking forward to having a play later

These look very interesting!

Certainly the best quality sunglasses camera out there.
Still limited by memory size and a secure fit will be required for a good picture.

I thought so...

Just been reading about the Contour Roam / Roam 2 and I'm wondering about the battery which I understand is not user replaceable. (Their website mentions a future arrangement for sending the camera back to Contour to have the battery replaced).

Can anyone tell me whether they power their Contour Roam from an external battery via the USB port while riding? If so, where do you keep the battery and does having the USB lead attached affect the weatherproofing to any great extent?

You should note that Contour in their infinite wisdom have wired the USB port so that you need a non-standard USB cable in order to power it and record at the same time.

Thanks for the info. So, sounds like it is meant to be possible to do the external battery thing then?

The Contour 2 seems to be out of stock in a few places. Looks like it was on some people's Christmas wish lists!

Even more of a bargain

Having now used my Sony AS-10 I am absolutely thrilled with its 'low-light' capabilities.

Well worth the money IMHO!

It is an absolute steal, made my other cameras redundant.
