Here's a useful blog on helmet cams: http://helmetcameracentral.com/ and
www.stuntcams.com carries some interesting stuff. the Oregon Scientific ATC
2000 looks like a useful device and it's available for about $120. self
contained, 32MB of internal storage and takes SD cards up to 2GB, decent
resolution, waterproof to 10 feet, and no camcorder needed. Comes with QD
mount. I'm going to get one and try it out.

Subject: Re: [Fot] Bullet Style Cameras
www.racerpartswholesale.com has a few systems. Their website is
designed so I can't do a direct link to the product line, but it's
featured on the main page. I've got the SPI-S1 connected to a Sony
camcorder with digital image stabilization. That one had a crappy
built in mike, so I rewired it to use a $25 Radio Shack external
mike. Sounds decent now. Picture looks good, the camcorder on the
rollbar shake is gone. It's a pretty wide angle picture. I did have
to put a little sun visor over it as looking directly into the sun
caused a line in the picture. They've got more complete kits - the
one with an external mike and a solid state DVR (digital video
recorder) is intriguing. You can see an example of the output at:
http://www.tonydrews.com/Videos/TonyGrattan08222004web.wmv (race
starts about 3 min into that one). In that video, I've lowered the
resolution to make a smaller video file - the normal output fills a
standard def TV nicely.
