Action Cameras?
 

Just wondering if anyone on here records their rideouts? I recently bought an ACk3000 action camera but to be honest the quality of video footage and sound was very poor so I took it back. I have an HD camera where the sound and video footage is excellent but I need to use several miles of duck tape just incase my expensive hd camera comes flying off and become an expensive brick!
Does anyone have a good (fairly cheap) setup that they recommend and how do you mount (oer?) your camera to the bike? Additional mounts, suction cups or mod your bike? ;)

My camera is a 4Kam - I cannibalised a mount they supplied, along with a Scottoiler Bracket to make up this solution, click on the link to see more and larger pictures.

looks like a solid mount SK - do you get bad vibes off that?

Off the top of my head Seggons is deep into the quest for the perfect camera setup, might be worth a PM.

ok... IL4, decent suspension and smooth roads. Who needs to worry about vibes? :p

You obviously haven't heard about the vibey nature of the Z750.......

Although they did address it a lot in the refresh to the design in 07 :)

I am and my current solution might be a bit out of the posters budget. But one package that I would suggest is the DV500 with bullet camera from here: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/dv500.htm

But that still might be a bit too expensive depending on budget. Another option is to buy just a bullet camera and plug it into the camcorder if it has a correct input.

I know there are cheaper recorders out there but from what I've seen and heard people have mixed results with them. It all comes down to how much your willing to pay as to the quality you get back. The setup I have is about £600 which is overkill for what it is, but I've now got to a point where I can press the button and know that it will record. :)

The way I have my camera mounted is onto the rad:

I have one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/520-SONY-CCD-H...3A1%7C294%3A50 cost me £68 delivered and one of these http://www.espysecurity.com/EPDVR69-Portable-DVR.htm which Ipicked up for a bargain £60 brand new on ebay. Both together give great results.

Cheers for the replys.
I havent really put a max price on it yet, but I am dodging away from the really cheap end of the scale as the results are so bad.
I will look up the examples that have been given and research them abit more. ;)
