Here is a video of my new helmet cam. I clipped it on my visor and took off down the road.

Not bad for $16.95 shipping included!

Does that one allow you to remove the date and time?

FYI there are many long thread on RCGroups about cheapo cameras, some of them really record HD video. And most are small enough that you don't look like a jackass or squid when you conceal them on your helmet.

I don't think you can remove the date and time, but to set it you copy a file to the cam and it then keeps track of the correct time. I just got it Saturday. I'll check and see if that can be done.. That would be nice.

Got it from US seller, had it in three days.
Hong Kong sellers take too long. More than a month.
Here is the link.

Maybe a silly question ,but how many hours can you record with such a little camera?

I have the same one and it works very well for such a small camera.

Here's a video of me crashing during a trackday at NHMS using the same type camera.

I don't know exactly how long it will go on a charge but I've recorded ~45 minutes without the killing the battery.

They claim it will last 2 hours.
Not sure. I haven't used it that much.
Also depends on how big your SD card is.

WOW

Thats actually pretty amazing quality for how cheap it is...

Have always wanted a GoPro but I think I might get me one of these.

Here is a video of the old GoPro filming me, this quality looks WAY better than the GoPro.

A friend of mine has the new GoPro, not much better than the old one. I do like the wide angle lens on it though...

I ordered 4 more of them for my buddies. LOL.
After they saw the video, they wanted one!!

OK--Damn, I found a bunch of stuff on-line (eBay) for a lens (wide angle) Cheap as dirt If you want to order from Hong Kong. I prefer to spend my money in the U.S.A.
But either way, here is a lens that will make the MD80 (cell phones and other small cameras) a wide angle like the GoPro.

Here is the link from where I ordered.
Actually I have ordered ten of them. Different kinds from each source.

Link 1 Jelly from USA

Link2 Hong Kong,

long wait from Hong Kong, but cheap dammit if your on a tight budget. I would say, buy US people!!!!!!!!!!, (When you can afford it and need it fast)
Gotta save a little and not in a hurry, go the overseas option...

Also. I';m modding the ones I have. I'll post that up soon. Mod is for viewing the tiny LED's so you can see them better.

Ride safe..
