Helmet Camera

[hydridmatt]

As I am planning on commuting by bike again as soon as BST clicks in at the end of March, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a cheap decent helmet cam?

Cheap? most people will say the muvi. if you do a quick search there is a bit thread about it with a decent review from one of the members here.

It's around £80 but you can get ones similar from china for around £20.

I got mine from this seller for £7.81 with free delivery (took about 3 weeks).

I got one of these for Christmas, although I got mine for about £40 from a Maplin shop.

Tesco are doing the Muvi for £40 with the sport pack included. It's a great, tiny camera. The sports pack has a camera mount, but I wedged mine into a helmet vent and it's inconspicuous and a perfect fit (with the camera in its silicon case).

It's a steal.

Yep, that's the one.

Like the look of that - any pics of it on the helmet and example output? Ta

I haven't, because I messed up my editing on the first trip out. But if you look at this thread you'll see all you need-

And Wobbly John's pics of it wedged in his helmet-

Ta - bit worried about that Micro SD card issue but I have got a 8Gb Micro SD from my old Nokia N95 so I could use that. Think I'm tempted...

Been out of stock for a week at Tesco, either the camera or the sports pack. Just clicked on your link and woohoo back in, so thanks!!! User.

Got one from Tesco. Tried it today for the first time and have to say that for 44 quid it's excellent. The files are big, and I don't think it's usb2, but I'm pretty impressed with it all said and done

After a near miss with some peanut construction worker (who offered to knock me out when I shouted at his car as it zoomed in front of me to turn left) I have decided that video evidence is the way to go. My Muvi is in the post from tesco too.

Put the Micro SD card in one of those usb converter sticks, like you get with R4's (nintendo). Pretty sure that's USB2.

Doh - why didn't I think of that...
