Default Got a new helmet cam, trying it out.

Not exactly mounted on my helmet, but this is my first video with the new cam. Thought it turned out pretty good for a $75.00 cam.

It's an Oregon Scientific ATC3k that I bought on ebay. I have it mounted on the rear brake master cylinder on my forward controls. Comes with a few different mounting devices. As small as it is it doesn't get in the way at all. Only complaint if you will, is that I have to stop the bike to turn it on or off, but no biggie.

I know this may sound crazy, but try driving a little slower next time. The cameras (all) can seem to exagerrate speed. I have done this a few times and slower is better. Use some cheap editing software to compress the time to make up for the slower speed. Just sayin'....oh yeah, nice camera. Have fun!!
