Helmet / Tank Camera?


I was looking at this camera that has great reviews but there are so many out there. I just wondered if anybody on here has any recommendations. I'm not looking to spend more than $100. This ATC2K camera has a 2GB SD Card capacity and easily straps to any helmet. for $95 I think it's cool.

This camera would be for uploading clips to websites like metacafe and youtube.

A boring ride will produce a boring video. I don't plan on wasting my $3.45 a gallon gas a boring ride.

Looks good to me. 2GB should hold a 30 minute ride depending on resolution. Getting into lipstick cameras will bring you over your $100 budget. You can get a 2GB SD card for like $5 so get 2 or 3 of them if you're going on a long trip.

If you go lipstick you'll have to carry a camcorder in a backpack or something. With that you can just put the card into your laptop or pc and drag the video to your burner or hard drive.

I'll look for you on youtube man!

According to the link below you'd get 114 minutes of record time with 2GB at 320X240 resolution with 30 frames per second. that's a good quality youtube clip. Not great to watch on a TV but good enough for metacafe.

Your ad doesn't say how may minutes of recording a 2GB card will run. If you want to record a ride lasting several minutes, 2GB may not be enough video storage. New SD technology is making cards up to 8GB, but they are not compatible with all cameras. Ask a few more questions before you buy.

Looks very cool but quality wise it might look like a webcam.

Check out something else: A better camera with a digital-input which is compatible with a lipstick-lens.
The lens is really small and attaches with a cable to the camera. The camera should be solid state, ideally; but tape will do.
Camera could be anywhere but the lens goes on your helmet or tank.
Higher quality, and sound too!

Check out a bike forum, too.
I know it's being used.

For a good camera and mounting system, look to spend way more than $100. Parts Unlimited Street Motorcycle has many options on the camera, like helmet mount, tank mount, footrest mount, etc. Check it out.

Have you ever seen video that somebody took with a helmet cam? I used to think it was a cool idea till I actually saw it. I used to work at an HD dealership and a customer brought a video in from Rolling Thunder (we were located in the DC area). That video was BORING! That definitely killed any want that I had in obtaining a helmet cam.

not sure of the catagory but i have seen them on ebay on bicycle helmets and just the cam with a strap mount bout $40 dont know how good they would be
