etcswjoe Posted May 30, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I have a GoPro using a RAM mount on the handle bars, one of the guys in the PGR has a onboard DVR with 2 cameras says his wife made him get it. http://www.eyespypro.com/products/Compact-4-Camera-Vehicle-DVR-With-H.264-Compression-3G-and-GPS.html Edited May 30, 2013 by etcswjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted May 30, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 30, 2013 I picked up a Drift X 170 You can get them refurbished for about $100 Not spectacular...but it does a good job. It comes with a remote control you can strap on your wrist as a few different mounting straps, bits and pieces. You can get about 3-4 hours recording time.

alwrmcusn Posted May 30, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2013 A riding friend of mine uses his regular video camera mounted on the handlebar. It is a very small handheld unit (don't know the brand/model). A plus is that he can flip out the little LCD screen and get it lined up just right. He shoots thru the windscreen and the results are surprising good! Wind noise can be edited/dubbed over later on their computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted May 30, 2013 Yea had spotted a couple on tiger direct for around 40-50. Didnt know how much could record on sd card or how long battery might last. Looks like I would need a fist full for a days rideing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted May 30, 2013 Share #9 Posted May 30, 2013 Battery you might be able to rig to run off of bike power. Then you just need a fist full of SD chips. Just don't confuse the SD chips with the potato chips,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peder_y2k Posted May 30, 2013 Share #10 Posted May 30, 2013 Do your research on memory for the camera. Newer cameras are capable of accepting/requiring class10 SD cards (fast) and 64gb capacity. Lower capacities obviously have lower recording time, and cost. Also check to see how long the camera records in terms of minutes or gb before it automaticly stops, and record must be activated again. I have a now obsolete Toshiba Camleo Air 10 (similar to flip style cameras of a few years ago) that has 64gb capacity but will record ony 4gb segments as it is programmed to save power by turning off the record, then power a few minutes later, so the camera record must be turned on again to keep recording. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA '83,88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
