Which ones are worth looking at and what sort of money? Other than the camera what else is needed?

Depends on the kind of quality you want really. You can get an all in unit which has the batteries, storage, camera and mic all in one unit but the quality is a little lower.

See this link

You could go out and buy a normal video camera and try and mount it somewhere like on your tank. You will get better image quality but it can cost more.

Thanks Simon. I'm looking for an all in one unit I think. I don't have anywhere to mount a proper camera that won't be in the way. It's gonna be for mainly motocross and down hill mountain bike use but will be doing a couple of trackdays on my R1 next month so will be using it for that too.

An all in one unit is probably best if you're going to be using it for loads of different activities, i heard the ATC2000 is a good one, records onto a 2Gb flash car dand is water/dust/shock resistant, and comes with headstrap and handlebar mounts.

Bear in mind most trackdays seem to have a ban on camera equipment on bikes and exteriors of cars, not sure why though...

I would reccomend against the ATC 2000. Some units are better than others however none seem to be great; have a look at some footage made by one.

Watching some footage with mountains in the background, the mountains look like they're made of jelly, the recording is that wobbly.

Not the one I was thinking of, but the first one that came up searching:

It's not vibrations, this unit does that given a perfect ride.

One of these weighs about the same and does much better video, even with it's limited CCD. Use the AV in function with a decent remote camera and it's much better.

Thanks for that G. The quality does look pretty poor. Maybe a bullet cam connected to a proper digi video camera would suit me better.

I also agree with G the quality isn't as sharp as I would like it to be with the ATC2k.

Link to similar topic

If you go to that thread you will see that I posted up a video from that camera. The video file hasn't been compressed like it would be have been in youtube so you get a better feel for the picture you will get.

Hope that helps.
