lawboat Posted September 20, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 20, 2010 I have 2 of those and they work really well. The video is pretty high quality but you need a video converter program if you want to save the video to a CD or DVD (or even e-mail). There's a free program you can download that works well...Any Video Converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltcreep Posted September 20, 2010 Share #9 Posted September 20, 2010 Wait I paid $13 for it on ebay... Looks like they are only about $10 now. I have one and it works great outdoors.

saltcreep Posted September 20, 2010 Share #10 Posted September 20, 2010 This is how I mounted mine from this guys idea... He has sample video at about 2:50 & 3:40 also, and it looks a lot better than through my rainy helmet lens... It is VERY well worth the $13 I paid for it .. $7 for the camera and $6 for shipping. I bought it to attach to a RC plane but have just used it for all sorts of weird things... I even fell off the boat with it (it has a lanyard included) and killed another camera and my cell phone but this el-cheapo thing still works.

The price for the one I found on ebay was $9.99 without the card. The venom ones like the original post were about $60 on abay David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltcreep Posted September 21, 2010 Share #14 Posted September 21, 2010 I hope you had it turned on will post the vid...... I WISH! I was leaned over in the front using the trolling motor and bumped a piling and lost my balance... Grabbed the piling and I was wrapped around this barnacle encrusted thing... and just slid straight down, I still have scars on my legs..... but dang, I bet it looked hilarious! and I'm sure I would have laughed had I seen it Yamaduck: I don't have such a gifted olfactory appendage as this fellow... it never touched my nose... I just couldn't ever find any other god place to put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigatcsi Posted September 25, 2010 Share #15 Posted September 25, 2010 Well I just received mine in the mail. I'm anxious to give it a try. Sadly it's going to rain all day. Hopefully tomorrow? Craigr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted September 25, 2010 Share #16 Posted September 25, 2010 Got mine today to. Not a bad looking lil unit. Tougher looking than I expected. All good. Came with enough odds and ends to hook it up to about anything. But like Craigr said.......raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamaDuck Posted September 25, 2010 Share #18 Posted September 25, 2010 Got mine yesterday. Tried it out today only to find out it doesn't work with Windows 7. ^%&%! Does anyone know the company website so I can see if they have an updated driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBeaver Posted September 25, 2010 Share #19 Posted September 25, 2010 Got mine yesterday. Tried it out today only to find out it doesn't work with Windows 7. ^%&%! Does anyone know the company website so I can see if they have an updated driver. Sure it does. Use the existing driver but before you install anything for it make the software/drivers run in 'compatibility' mode via XP (or Vista if you want a headache). That ought to do it.

Use the existing driver but before you install anything for it make the software/drivers run in 'compatibility' mode via XP (or Vista if you want a headache). That ought to do it. I'm not sure how to do that. It doesn't come with a cd to download the drivers the drivers automatically download when you plug the camera into the USB drive.

I don't know why it told me it wasn't compatible before. I just plugged it in again and it worked fine. I just tried it out in the house with the room lights on and it worked great.

Snaggletooth Posted September 27, 2010 Share #24 Posted September 27, 2010 Ok, still trying to figure out the compression ratio to do the vids but I got a couple of still captures to post. The deal is this. With the bike off, or low idle the picture is great. Better than I expected. But......once the bike is starting to ramp up on the revs I start getting a wave in the signal as you can see in the pics. Now....I just had it strapped (firmly) to the top of my switch panel on the left controls. I got hot wires in there......or......in my mind the culprit is the fact I do not run resistor spark plugs. I have new resistor caps and wires....but no resistor plugs. Imput please. Any thoughts..... Anybody else running into this? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
