Hey guys (and gals) I keep watching videos of people riding KLR's on
YouTube and really wish I had a helmet camera or something else that I
could use on my KLR.
Does anyone have a helmet (or similar) video camera and how do you like
yours?
Here's one I found....

In this era of HDTV, those cameras are obsolete, unless all you want
to do is show compressed video on the web. I haven't kept up with
helmet cam technology, but I'd see if something with higher
resolution is available.
If you can't find a "helmet cam" of high resolution, the next option
might be to get a hand-held camera and fabricate a mount. Hand-helds
are tiny these days, available in HD or at least 525 lines of
resolution, huge or multi CCD chips, and the hassles of mini-DV tape
are a thing of the past.

I agree that a HDTV camera is the way to go. Does anyone know exactly
what HDTV camera solutions work best on motorcycles?
My only tips:
1. Do NOT get a camera with optical image stabilization if you ever
plan on mounting it to the bike.
2.When filming with a camera that has electronic stabilization, turn it off.
3. Shoot at full wide zoom.

Looking around I found the Sony HDR-HC7 and it looks pretty good.
It records HD 1080i directly to memory stick.
Any comments?

Bob,
I have one and consider it a VERY good 'still' camera - I can't even imagine attaching it to
my helmet for ANY reason...!
