MONZTER Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Got a new helmet lipstick camera to use on my car during autocross. I couldn't wait to try it, so I put it on my Mountain Bike for a test ride. The video came out out pretty cool. Can't wait to put it on my front bumper for the next practice.

Tony D Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 What kind of Helmet Cam? I bought one of the Oregon Scientific Helmet Cams---it's not exactly a 'lipstick' camera, but it works O.K. for our Bonneville Car. Always looking for digital motion cameras that I can use to monitor various things during the run...call it a 'visual datalog'... I bought the 2Gb SD storage chip at Fry's for something like $19, and now I can record 2 hours digitally on the thing. Really disgusting when you consider I paid almost $1500 for my VHS CamCorder in 1985...and this one was a whole $167 + the Memory Chip cost!

The one I got is called a Viosport 3 http://www.viosport.com/ It plugs into a Sony Handycam to capture full 500 lines resolution in DVD quality. It is defiantly more hassle having to run the wires, but the image stabilization built into the camera really helps. I will try it tomorrow on the side of my car. I want to see how the tires roll over in the corners. Have fun Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONZTER Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Looks like Cactus at Whiting. You win the $1.00 prize; Correct. Are you a Mountain Biker? I assume you are since you know the trail. Whitting is our lunch ride loop, great fun for a quick hour ride. My office is 5 min away. Do you also ride in the Cleveland National Forest? What are your favorite trails? Good talking to ya this weekend Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Used to ride a lot but starting Betamotorsports pretty much killed all my bike riding time. Now I ride so infrequently its just painful whenever I put my butt on a bike seat. I mostly rode Crystal Cove, Whitting, and Fullerton Loop. Before that I was a Cat 3 road racer. Now I'm just a tubby welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgkurz Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Excellent video. Makes me want to upgrade my hardtail to an FSR... We have a ride here in Oregon I want to try from Mt Hood's Timberline lodge down to Rhododendron. It starts at 6,600ft and goes 19mi down to 1282ft. http://tinyurl.com/2j9gt7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONZTER Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 That sounds like a great ride, I wish I got a chance to travel more and ride new spots. We have a website for our local rides, it is www.geoladders.com Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
