Helmet camera

[[email protected]]

I've just ordered one of these: "PVR-500r Package Pro 520 camera kit"
from http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk and I should receive it next week.
It looks like fun, does anyone have any experience of using helmet
cameras? Hints and tips? Comments?

Thanks,

It works with a card so no separate recorder needed.

Looks nice and certainly makes the helmet useful, although I would go
for a headband or handlebar mount. I could even thing of a use for a
mount pointing backwards to catch the numpties in the moments before
they ignore you.

Looks nice; I couldn't find the spec though. Does it use the regular
SD cards? What's the resolution like; any sample clips on the web?

I believe the recent YouTube video of the bus overtaking in Cambridge
was taken on one of those. If you Google back through the last month of
this group you should find a link to it.
