Bike and video ?

First test with the sanyo on a seat post. need someone behind me to make this video interesting, but the quality and stability is quite ok. Seat post is the best regarding angle but of course you videotape the trail behind you. i tryed on the fork or on the helmet, but did not find any solution regarding both angle and stability.

Any tips ?




As far as i'm concerned, as a montainbike rider, i've always looked for a camera to videaotape our furious trips in the remote countryside. Something both practical and solid. With a nice shape to fit on a helmet or handle bar for instance (with foam or bubble wrapper and support- like mac guyver will explain to me later).





i've found this one for a reasonble price/ Quality (around 2500 rmb for the model i'd like to buy).


A Sanyo brand product. Actually it's a digital camera but truly Mpeg video oriented (it enhances video quality and the design is more videocam-like, if you ask me)


If anyone has comments , tips or ideas, please drop a line. the bottom line is to videotape while riding. Tough and risky...maybe, but so much fun.

Otherwise, i found this little stuff(a friend found a store in qingdao). A cam completely devoted to sport actions. (water proof, really solid and compact

I'm really attracted by this product (cheap-170O RMB) but honnestly i do not know about the quality. So if anyone has heard about it or similar stuff, please leave comment.
