[ebola]

out of curiosity.. anyone used a digital video camera or whatever to get footage of a ride ? what sort of setup is sensible ?

Helmet-mounted cameras are fairly common, and not (quite) as expensive as you might think.

Take a look at this as a starting point... google it and you will come up with more options!

you need a camcorder with a/v in and preferably a lanc socket which lets you control the camera with a microswitch plugged in and a bullet camera,the picture quality can be amazing,will cost you around 500 english pounds to set up

You can get pretty elaborate and spend quite a bit of money in the process. It really depends on what you want to accomplish.

If you're making something suitable for your web site - here's mine, with a video of today's ride - then all you need is your digital camera.

If you want to make something DVD quality then you're going to need to spend considerably more for higher end gear.

try one or two of these with a large card. you can put one facing foward and one facing rear to get a view of in race action.
