In case you weren't aware of these...the 808 series remote cameras are really slick. You get them on ebay from sellers in HK. I bought 2 recently for $20 delivered. Charge the internal lithium battery via USB, pop a 4g or 8g microSD card in it and start making movies!

Here's a little video I did of a friend's son riding the 1980 MX100 around a local MX track.

HAHA, thanks AV8R, I now know what I can do....buy one and put it on my keys to watch my roomies hahaha.....lmfao! that is actually pretty good video.

 

[av8r]

They really shoot good video. 720P

 

[Xstriker]

it's sad that the sd card for the camera was more expensive than the camera...

$10 camera
$18 8GB microSD card... /sigh

 

[av8r]

$28 to shoot HD video?

I'm so happy I bought 4 of these originally! I put them on everything. RC planes, my truck, cars, my dog...you name it!

Just an FYI...I used a small patch of adhesive backed Velcro I got from my wife's sewing room to attach these to my helmets. At first I used a small string as a lanyard in case they flew off, but they held fast even on my BMW street bike. The lens angle isn't wide so you'll want to play with the mounting position. I found that on my helmets I had to mount the camera a bit to the rear of center on the top of my helmets to achieve a good image. It'll depend on where you hold your head when you ride. Some people have bough these $1 gummy wide angle lenses on ebay to widen them up a bit.

Here's a link with a lot of info on these

Upon looking into that more, I have a few questions for you. Does the battery really only last an hour? And have you got yours wet yet? I am just wondering how it will hold up to the elements.

 

[av8r]

Battery lasts well over an hour and no..hasn't been wet. A few guys have used a TicTac case to waterproof them. It's a nearly perfect fit.

 

[crwh45]

sweet, I just bought 2.

Yea Ive heard about these, amazing video and sound quality for $10!

 

[Xstriker]

i'm stoked to get mine next week. also, they are so small you can record all sorts of stuff. I have an A-hole boss, he's always a dick in my evaluation meetings, I get great feedback from everybody I work with then he'll tear me apart so he can feel like his peen is bigger... it's video time =-)

 

[crwh45]

I think I may accidentally leave mine in the bathroom shower ledge right before my roomies shower hahahaha.

 

[Xstriker]

rofl, I could see how one of these could get you in ALOT of trouble...

 

[crwh45]

thats why it would be "for my eyes only" hahaha
