Helmet Cameras

[ChrisBurke]

Hi all,

After buying one of these helmet cameras for my own use, I have decided to add them to our range of accessories - as with everything Im willing to offer them to forum members at a good price too :-)

The details (from Oregon Scientific):

So what do they cost?? Well the RRP is $219 including delivery as usual, plus you need an SD memory card to go with.

Im happy to do them for forum members for a limited time for $195

Anyone interested?

How did you go with noise distorting the video image? and how quick can you get them, or do you have them in stock?

[Crashlington]

yep. i gotta get one.

[ChrisBurke]

I havent had any problems with noise distorting the image - we had some problems with wind noise on the dirt helmet which I have solved with some low density foam. The YouTubes are fairly low res compared to the size of the files, but theyre easier to show people the footage. a 2GB SD card records an hour at the highest res, so if you recorded at a lower (youtube) res you could get hours n hours on one card.

As far as stock goes - I have stock arriving in 2 weeks, although Im working on that as I think I can get that shipment here in about 1 week if things work out.

yep, interested

Not sure that thread is about the same model - the ones I have record sound (as you can see by watching the YouTubes) and record up to 30fps...

Same camera. Read post #3. And I paid a fair bit less than 195. There are a fair few available on the market now. I saw a brochure for some computer shop the other day flogging them for 199.

I have one but it is playing up at the moment. Not sure if it is the camera or the card. Gtta get a new card to test it out. Think the vibration mounted on the handlebars might have been a bit much through Balingup to nannup the other day.

I am keen to get one of these.

All comes down to the DOSH !!



Bugger it. I&#39;ll have one. Similar price to round the traps and don&#39;t have to run around myself.

Let me know how to pay and how you will provide

[Deacon]

what is the battery life like?

[ChrisBurke]

I have found that a set of batteries is good for a day (a ride day or a day in the dirt)... best to have a spare set with you...

[ChrisBurke]

Cameras will be here this week - if your interested itd be best to get in soon as most of this shipment has been presold...

[Woodzzter]

Without wanting to shit on the thread - these cameras are the same as those sold previously and posted about on PSB. I know I have some more coming and I think there are some still at Harvey Norman Armadale (as organised by EvilHomer). See the original thread on these for pricing although for some reason the search option is not working now so I can't locate the original thread. Will edit this post when I find it.

EDIT: Original thread is here
