I've always wanted to make som bike-videos like the ones you see on youtube. (not the ones where they crash).
I've experimented with my camera, and how to mount it on my helmet, or somewhere on the bike.
Well... This picture speaks for itself. (it's a wide angle lens on the camera)
So, i went on ebay and found a nice litlle bulletcam/helmetcam. $220 including shipping to Denmark.
And today the camera finally arrived!!
Just unpacked it... The foam inside was not cut out.
Did some cutting, and placed the relevant mounts/cables in the suitcase so it's ready to go for future use.
I was itching to try it... Only problem is... Snow! So i did a quick install on my scooter (no laughs please, it's nice to have in the winter).
The video starts at my local grocery store, i had to do some shopping... Took my about 2 minutes to hook up to the DV camera in my backpack,
and mount on the handlebars. The mic included is REALLY sensitive, so i placed it inside my backpack, that's why i might sound funny at times... I need some kind of muffler for it.

Youtube recompresses the video after i compressed it to divx for use on the net... With that in mind, it's fairly good quality...
I think it will be better when the sun is shining, and i use some time on premiere pro and encode it properly.
