has anyone used a helmet cam .if so which one ,how heavy etc. as they all seem to need a seperate recording device if you want good quality what would you suggest as weight and size ARE important[so i've been told !!!]
anyone do the evans sportive on sunday. was it me or was it pretty tough ????

I think Oregon Scientific do one without an external recording device, but I may be wrong.

Monty and MrPVT have one, I think Archos. They look pretty compact and light - like a small torch with a wire that runs to the Archos screen thingy which you stuff in your back pocket. Think they cost a few quid mind.

They record your ride. Fascinating isnt it. They were meant for bit more extreme sports such as surfing and Mountain Biking, but we use them now as well.

Also been looking at the helmet cams. Looking for something that's self contained, preferably with a memory card of some kind internally in the camera. I'll post if I find anything.
