Trackday cameras

Ahhhhhhhh it's doing my head in, I don't know what to go for I don't want to spend a fortune but I don't want to end up with crap.

I think the choices are:
Go Pro Hero 960 @ £150 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GoPro-Go-P...item20c4b0cc4e

However I don't like the idea of not having a screen to see what you're pointing at, and they don't use a traditional screw fitment as far as I'm aware so you'd need to find a way of mounting it on the rollcage.

So option two...

Handheld camcorder/compact digital camera and a nice rollcage mount like this:

Was going to use my old digital camera however it's not new enough to use SDHC cards so can't get above 2gb storage for it which rules that out.

This is the quality I got with my 7/8 year old Canon compact digital camera so looking for no worse than this:



Help me spend my money

I have got the go pro and have an lcd bacpac for it so you can see what you are filming but you have to turn the screen off or it drains the battery ,the roll cage mounts are pretty cheap i think something like a tenner,there is a vid on here i think that i took with it but the sound is crap as i bodged the mount onto my support rather than a gopro one but the picture is very good

I'm just about to buy this for our comp safari racer. They are offering it for a very good price at the moment and I believe it will be worth every penny and comes with all the accessories you will need:

Ive got a contour hd for my bike, you can get handlebar mounts for them as well so would be easy to mount to a cage, good quality as well and ive only ever used it on the low image quality setting. ill see if ive uploaded any to youtube now

Id go for a variant of the go pro, messed around with my mates a few times on my cars and out on the ktm and the stability and picture quality is awesome. Really steady and really smooth. Sound was really good but was slightly muffled at times.
