I bought a tony hawk helmet cam a cpl years ago. It BLOWS. Get up over 30 or so mph and it wont keep up, its grainy, and too sensitive to any sort of bumps. What works? I heard the 'hero' cam is good? Gimmie your input.

Hero cams are probably the best bet.. Go on youtube and check out some vids... there is one on there where a guy put one on a RC plane,, awesome footage

Check out my videos all taken with a gopro hero wide. Here is one link then search other videos by me from there.

I have been very pleased with the camera. I have used it under water as well, and it still has good quality.

Dammit!

I just bought a GoPro Hero Wide. $135 shipped on ebay. Can't beat the price but I haven't used it yet other than goofing around here at the house. I almost took the tri-zinger out in the alley tonight to get some footage but spending all day in the 110 degree heat at work just zapped my energy for today. I should have some footage by Wednesday though.

After watching a few of your vids, im sold on the hero wide. That seems to come out great. Im going to get myself one of them critters next week. Thanks for posting that, it's nice to see how the footage will come out with bumps and jars. :beer
