bought one of them keychain camera's the other day and have been playing around with different mounting positions etc..
For £8 delivered and £5 ish for a decent SD card, im not complaining.

youtube seems to have robbed a bit of quality or i may have converted the file wrong?. Any tips on how to convert it without losing too much picture quality?

Here's a little vid i made with the camera attached to the pillion peg on the cb400 super four.

*edit, youtube upgraded it to 480p Very Happy , much better now

You can buy them with a SD card but it will be a cheap and cheerfull one and apparently they work better with decent cards, so it's best to get that seperate.

I forgot how 400's sounded like they were going twice the speed they actually were. Play that vid without watching it and it sounds like on board footage from a WSBK race Laughing

I love that about my little 400, You can ride it flat out everywhere and feel like your constantly running from the cop's but without the ridiculous speed's. Everybody should experience a 400 at some point as i think there the ideal road bikes.

I just bought a BulletCam from DGS, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Crying or Very sad
Basically just bought it for video evidence if the worst should happen on my commute... and maybe make a few "spirited" vids in the summer?! Twisted Evil

I bought one the other week, used it in the Car at Santa Pod, and tried it on the bike yesterday --

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-td1ZDCh2_Q

Youtube is cutting a 7minute video down to 52 seconds for some reason, anyone know why?

Going to try some different mounting positions, and will use it at Silverstone this weekend!

Instead of using duct tape i've managed to wedge it in my front grill. Time will tell whether it drops out or not.

Cool little cam.

Me at Silverstone at the weekend. I gaffa taped the camera to where my mirror would normally attach....worked quite well. The video conversion software has made the quality worse, but gives a fairly decent idea of how it fares on track, I'm pretty impressed!

Try resetting it - paperclip or similar in the little hole on the side.
Check out instructions for it on youtube or google.
The controls are a bit strange and you often aren't sure what it's doing.
Different memory card is about the only other thing you can try - good card is important as a cheap/slow one will cause problems.
