   What camera are you using there?

2. Comment by mark shaw — July 6, 2010 @ 7:41 pm

   My camera is a Mini DV DVR Sports video camera spy cam MD80 DC.
   I got it off ebay all in with postage £9.20 from Hong Kong so its probably a snide copy of one but it works spot on

   Ah yes. I have one of those but am yet to use it

   I have a Muvi (the dearer version) too, but your footage looks a lot crisper. Time to dig out the cheapo me thinks.

   Cheaper version only does 15fps so won’t be that great for freeze framing shots (it says 30fps, but it repeats each frame).

   Although there has been someone that claimed their cheaper one really does 30fps (whereas most of the people I’ve asked who understands this, has said 15fps with duplicates).

   how have you mounted the camera on your helmet? Just got one of the same MD80 but I can’t figure out a good way. cheers, simon

   I think you have to buy the optional sports kit extra – mine cost £19.99

   I have three different brackets that look like the ones in the second picture on amazon, but no straps so not sure how to fix brackets to the helmet… Maybe a velcro bodge is the answer!

    Velho would work perfectly. You get a Velcro strap in the sports pack

    Velcro even

    …ok think a trip to the hardware store is in order.
    Then I have to decipher the entertaining chinglish instructions for the camera.
    And then i can start filming all the appalling driving I see on my daily commute!
