Bonj,

Any luck with the camera yet? The weather is great for filming at the moment!

I haven't had much spare time yet to figure it out and get it going yet but I will hopefully do tomorrow.

yes! its first outing today, and managed to get a beeping in! will it have picked that up, i'm presuming it records sound aswell? I'll upload the footage tonight when I get home, I might do the journey home with it on the helmet mount.

The mic is pretty poor, so it probably won't pick up the horn (depends how loud and how near).

Looking forward to seeing it. Did you wear it on your helmet or handlebars?

oh i'm presuming that you if you switch it on by holding the left button and then press the middle button to start recording, if there's already an avi on there then it just starts a new one, it doesn't overwrite does it?

Correct. It doesn'y overwrite. It will just keep producing new files until you run out of space.

Been a bit of activity with a few more entries. Thanks go to Stig-OT-dump, carwash and PrettyBoyTim.

It's looking less likely that bonj will win now. Come on folks let's make it as certain as possible. Remember bonj has offered to pay the postage!!

It would seem that no-one wants bonj to win!

hang on. if the donation's £137.10, then surely someone's only donated 10 pence! so I think we should strike some people off.
