my new onboard video camera! - 1/26/2007 11:21:33 PM    woodyracing Posts: 1326 Joined: 5/3/2006 From: Meridian, MS Status: offline just got my new Oregon Scientific ATC-2K "helmet" camera (click here) I've been researching for a while and wanted something small and self-contained so I could mount it anywhere on my bikes quickly.  I found this one on Amazon for a pretty good price plus they have a good deal on SD memory cards  (which will hold about 1hr each) so i decided to go for it!  I'm hoping to go for a quick ride with it tomorrow just to see how well it works, if I do I'll post up the video tomorrow night.  So far it looks to be a good little camera for the price, the video isn't great but its good enough for what I want to do with it.  It uses 2 AA batteries but I don't expect them to last very long.  I will most likely end up wiring it to the bike somehow.  If it works out well, I'll probably get another one for some different angles and all that. I'll post up a full review with plenty of videos after the first race weekend at Talladega (Feb 9-11) here's a couple pics (case was not included): < Message edited by woodyracing -- 1/26/2007 11:37:19 PM > _____________________________ Selling my 600RR CLICK HERE!

Looks kinda big though...  hard to tell for sure but using the SD cards as reference, looks bulky. Let us know where you mount it and all the pros and cons.  Thanks! < Message edited by OldFatGuy -- 1/27/2007 8:25:11 AM > _____________________________ '06 1000RR Red/Black '04 1800 Goldwing Candy Black Cherry '05 Shadow VLX Deluxe Pearl White (Wife's) Ride Safe, Ride Often, Ride Far (in reply to woodyracing) Post #: 2

It was close to being a winner, and you might find it acceptable. I liked the fact that it's self contained but the video quality just wasn't there for me. _____________________________ My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

Not sure where you have it mounted, but have you tried other locations?  Seems a bit jumpy and bouncy and that was just around your driveway. I'm sure it will take some trial and error.  Keep it up and let us know what you find that works best for you. < Message edited by OldFatGuy -- 1/27/2007 5:32:22 PM > _____________________________ '06 1000RR Red/Black '04 1800 Goldwing Candy Black Cherry '05 Shadow VLX Deluxe Pearl White (Wife's) Ride Safe, Ride Often, Ride Far (in reply to danny600rr) Post #: 11
