Not bad though.

The main purpose of the camera isn't actually to film fun rides out. It's mainly for if/when I have a crash. I haven't got enough fingers on my hands to count how many times I've seen, "I've been in a SMIDSY crash, she/he said it wasn't their fault when it was but I've got no witnesses/evidence to prove it."

At least I have a witness stuck to my helmet. As they say, the camera never lies. At least if someone pulls out on me and knocks me off, I can send the video to my insurance company which I hope will make it a easy process of claiming.

It could easily backfire on me if I am the one that causes a accident.

The reason for the music was because the DVR they sent out to me turns out to be duff, so I've sent it back and awaiting a new one. I managed to save the video but the audio was 5 to 10 mins ahead of the video.

I am going to be trying various positions to see which work best.

I've got a Helmet-cam, I wanna do some onboard videos sometime.
It's this one: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/dogcampro480.htm
I've got this to record onto: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/mobibox...o-recorder.htm

I bought them about 18 months ago but haven't used them much yet.

I use the 4Kam setup: http://www.4kam.com/action_ready_package.htm
IMO for the price, and the quality (520 tvl 640 x 480 @ 30 fps) I think it's the best setup you can get.

That camera package looks pretty cool. That DVR has a bigger screen than mine, and it looks like the battery lasts longer. (My DVR has a battery like a mobile phone, and the one that came with it only lasted about 1 hour on a charge. I've bought a new battery since, but haven't tried it out yet much.)

I didn't see that package on any website when I bought mine, I might look into getting one of those "4K DVR's".

Must be pretty good if "MOTORS TV" use them.

Hey it was worth it though!

This warmer weather is tempting me to go do it again

Jeeze, theres loads lol. On way to Lozzos coming off the motorway, I even enjoyed that in my Dads car. And was planning on going back to find that road and a few more around it. That was near flitwick. I can tell you loads up this way (Northampton), but some good roads, Newport Pagnell way etc. Just gotta get this way first.

Speaking of Flitwick, it's my next place to conquer:



Northampton is next on my list to conquer now I'm able to charge my TomTom on the move.
