But it would be hard to see that crash video if the camera wasn't there.

 

Do you have one ?
I was wondering about the battery life in taking a pic every 5 seconds.
How is the picture quality? Can you email me a picture taking while riding ? don@virtualhale.com

thanks

 

I have a Ram-Mount with a Pentax Optio W-20.
It's water proof and has a time lapse mode. You can set the time lapse from 5 secs to 999 seconds. I set it to take a picture every 60, using a 2 gb sd card I takes pictures for several hours while riding. Then I get home, put the sd card in the computer and look thru the pictures for some good shots. I get some surpisingly good shots. I have set it up to video mode and captured some 640x480 videos.

The only down side to this camera that I paid $150 online is the tri-pod screw on the bottom. It's plastic so you can't over tighten it, I broke my after a year of use. I'm looking for another one before this riding season.

Check out my pictures, most where taking riding with this setup.

I was just thinking the same thing!!
