Thumbs up Now this looks cool!!!

Imagine having a HD video camera mounted on the roof rack, dash, hood, side view mirror, bumper or for the dirt bikers on the handle bars or helmut, or a sled....?!
This lil bugger takes HD vids & 5MP stills & can take the abuse. Check out their video samples... wow & only $300 + $20 for an extra battery that I'd get for sure.
In HD 1080p (30 fps): 4h 21m <--- record time.

Only major set back I can see (at a glance) is there's no playback on the camera.

I might have to get me one. hehehe

I have been on car cruises with guys that mount them on their bumper or roof, been riding with guys who have them on their quads too, and countless guys with sportbikes ride around with those on their helmets. They are awesome, I would like one but its not at the top of my list as of now.

Not top list in my view either, but after the intake I want to install... I may just have to get one.
Mounted in the right way it should give a great "seat of the pants" effect.

You don't need a buddy filming or taking pics, it's all 'as it happens' & to me - thats cool

It's all about sharing & trying to feel like you're showing off (not in a dumb way lol)
How many times do we see " pics make it real!, show pics!)?!

Just thought people would like to see something that could get that across.
thnx for checking it out

Also, the question is: who feels like they can do this cam justice? No crazy chit/breaking things or dangerous, but having a live HD cam on the rack or w/e... makes you think "hmmm how good could I be?" Doesn't matter, just have fun doing it!
