Dirt cheap "helmet cams" ...?
I just bought a bike after not riding seriously for years. I'm planning on putting a video camera on it to get some riding footage - road, path and light dirt riding. The TRV320 fits perfectly on the rear rack but that only gives me a straight-back view. Anyone done that BTW? I'm thinking of using the tripod socket and just bolting to the rack - then building a padded shell around the camera. I'm looking for a dirt-cheap "camera head"... just the lens and a CCD with an RCA or S-video out that I can feed the TRV with. "Helmet cam!" I've seen a few cheapo Chinese cameras on eBay but don't know what kind of video resolution they'll do. http://www.6URL.com/JVZ Thoughts? (don't need the LCD or built in recording section... just a head) I'll keep Googling but thought you'd have some good ideas. Chris On Tue, 31 May 2005 12:30:57 -0400, "C.J.Patten"

Is "sticky pod" just the mounting systems or do they have small cameras available? http://www.stickypod.com/ was the site I found.

"Helmet cam!" as "helmet cams" to a notebook computer so that you can use a video capture software to record? I would think there would be such a direct method rather than connecitng to the analog input of a VTR or camcorder and then going through the bother of digitizing that to get footage inside a computer. (Carrying around a notebook computer may not be suitable for action sports but it would be suitable for say inside a vehicle.)
