Anyone got a helmet camera?

I don't have one, but the go pro helmet cams are the best of the best I think. Have seen a lot of skiing footage done with them and the images are crystal clear.
 
I was researching a hat cam and came across a post by Rhino with a video of her galloping across the countryside ( it was the Flodden ride or something like that) from what I remember it was a camera that cost about £10-£20 and they are sold on eBay. When I'm not on my phone I will try and find the link as the quality was pretty good.
 
We've got a go pro - its a bit long in the tooth now but still works fine. Have a look at Spudcam on youtube . Even with YouTube eating some of the quality its still reasonable.
 
How are people attaching their gopros when riding?

The helmet mounts seem to be adhesive and I don't really fancy sticking a mount in to my new Ventair.
I have the chest mount for biking, does that give a good angle when riding?
 
Makes sense. I guess you need to remove the silk for that sort of mount to work and stay in place?

Might pick one up and do some experimenting! Cheers Soapy!
 
I have a contor, I feel these are alot easier for riding as they are barrel shaped and lighter. (I have also used a Go Pro)

Update: i ordered a contour roam 2. looked the part and was in budget. it arrived today, no way of attaching it to my hat! those parts were out of stock. so i email them and he replies that contour have gone into administration and no parts are available!
why have them on their website?
so i point out i cant hold it in my hand whilst riding so it wasnt much use to me!
his first shot was you cant send it back its not faulty. i gave him a piece of my mind and now its going back for a refund in full.

which 1 next?

I have one of these on my birthday list. I was wondering if you attach them to your hat does it affect how the hat protects you in the event of a fall on your head?

Like the above poster I would like to see some footage from a chest mounted one for comparison :)
 
I decided on a Drift HD instead of the Go Pro and I cant fault it so far.

If you select the YOUTUBE button in the bottom right to take you to youtube itself, then select the little white cog in the bottom right corner you can select the 1080p HD option and watch it at its highest quality.

Cost me £105 from the above companies ebay store - was supposed to be reconditioned but i think they accidntally sent me a new one!

EDIT - STILL ON SALE AT THE MOMENT - £105 delivered - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DRIFT-HD-1080P-ACTION-CAMERA-HELMET-CAMERA-/161160636564?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_Video_Camcorders&hash=item2585ec2894
