Switch so I can get people as I come up at 159MPH and then pass them OnBoard TV Helmet cameras and Digital Video Recorders.
Not sure if there is better out there but the ability so switch cam might make me as hated as BWhip
Second Cam:
Not sure I have this: Hoyt Technologies: Helmet Cameras, Helmet Cams: 580 Line Sony ExView HAD Helmet Camera (3.6mm)
But I have had one from these guys also: Product Listing - HelmetCamera_
The Hoyt is nice and cheaper but if I get a kit the Helmet Cam mount is the best. Hoyt has a lame one in comparison. Though I grenaded the cam inside it I still use the mount. It couldn't take being bounced onto the track in #2 at Barber, tore off the bike then bounced 60 feet or better across the track, POS
I figure this would be about my ultimate upgrade and satisfy my gadget lust.... on the cam front
If everything tastes like chicken..... what does chicken taste like
I wish I knew more about them sheep. Honestly I would LOVE to get into an onboard set up, I even have some money set aside from christmas for it.
I am just the LEAST techie person I know.
I don't have a Video camera, but I do have some memory cards. I was looking at the same set up the JBD has as it seems to work very well for him.
I am only looking at spending 200-350 for a set up, any suggestions?
All the stuff you posted looks great, but it is way over my head...
Ok.. I've been running the Chase Cam PDR-100 since early 07 season if I remember correctly I had it at 07 Grattan Days. I currently have the PDR mounted in the speed hump of my suit and bullet cam velcroed to the chin bar of the helmet. I use a Lanc switch that I have running out the right sleeve of my suit for easy ON/OFF operation. I use a 12Gig SD card so I can record an entire days sessions at the Full Resolution(Very Good Quality compared to most options). A single cam setup can usually be ran for 5-6 20min trackday sessions on 4 Li-Ion 2500mAh rechargable batteries.
If batteries run out it automatically stops recording and shuts down the unit so the last recording doesn't get corrupted which is a nice feature.
The Pros to this set up are the Static memory recording(not affected by vibration), the quality of the video and the amount of memory available for extended recording. One 20 Min session = about 1.2 gig file.. keep that in mind when purchasing a memory card. Once the card is about full just stick it in your laptop and a quick download to your harddrive and you're good to go again.
Now for the cons: lack of video screen for playback while trying to set up camera angles etc. Its more trial and error until you get it set how you want it. This isn't that big of a deal if putting the cam in a fixed mounting position on the bike. The microphone set up is VERY sensitive. even having the unit mounted in foam and leather I still have the internal mic set at its lowest sensitivity level otherwise engine and wind noise are unbearable and overpowering in the video causing all kinds of noise distortion.
