Bike cameras

Hmmm cheap something from dabs or aria it is then.

Dont you think the CVLS-DV20 is abit big though?
Although interested to see how long battery life is.

Make sure that you get a good class of card and I dont just mean dont get some slapper of an SD card I mean get like a class 6 or at least a 4 to make sure that the write speeds will be ok. Also make sure that the card is compatible with the camera as some cameras can only take certain card sizes.

Dam it, owell saved enough on the cam to fork out abit more for a card.
Thanks Gabriel for the info as i want the best possible even though i know itll be limited in the quality field.

Could someone measure up a contour HD for me? I'm looking for the diameter of the lens housing so if I was to cut a hole in some fairing to poke it through, how big would that hole need to be?

Has anyone got a HD 1080? Is it worth the extra? I'm particularly interested in examples of frame rates at 60 fps

Cheers for any help

Thanks
Luke

one more...

Are the 720 and 1080 the same size in terms of housing? The contour websites only lists one set of dimensions, but they look different in the photographs

Cheers
Luke

Im no pro with memory cards but I have ordered a standard Sandisk 16GB to go with my new recorder, £18.99 off amazon, cant go too far wrong. No need for any of the high speed cards standard ones are plenty fast enough unless you doing 1080P,

Dave, the camera you got is the uprated version of the one i got, looks the same.
This is the one i used the other week when we went green laning.

In regards to memory cards, my Nikon D90 Recommends the 'fast' cards for its video recording, so i bought a 4 gb sandisc ultra for something like £8.
I'll just use smaller cards tbh, less to lose when they go pete tong.
