It's a Gopro......first time we used it. I was pretty impressed with the way it turned out. A lot of resolution was lost with the upload to Youtube. It will record a little over fifty minutes with a 2G SD card. I am still trying to come up with a better mounting option as I had to be real careful with the camera strapped to the top of my visor.
The next project will be Trailfest, The Movie!

Very cool!
I will want a copy. Let me know the production costs.
Trailfest Advice....keep it on two wheels while filiming. We had a young buck filming a previous Trailfest event. He did a great job of filming - especially when we saw...trail, gas tank, sky, ground, sky, where's my bike??

That looks like a pretty nice setup, that GoPro camera.
I've got two 1/3" Sony SuperHAD camera with replaceable screw-on lenses. I also have an amplified stereo mic. However I do not have a recording engine that can handle vibration. I was trying to cook something up to use those cameras but the GoPro looks like a good option. I'm not too sure I like the look of it on the top of a helmet though, especially mine, which seems to like scooping up branches. I've had trees strip off my goggles, knock the sunglasses off my face, etcetera. A big two by three inch square looks like a big target. A bulletcam & remote DVR looks like it would be less surface area to whack.
What's been your experience with the mounting?

Ian was there but he was long gone, riding with Craig, John, Mike, Mark, and whoever else. I was adjusting the mileage on my odometer to match the route sheet. KTM sells a remote handlebar switch so you can adjust easily on the fly.

I have only used it strapped to the visor of my helmet. The 90 degree mounting bracket that allows you attach it to the side of your helmet sticks out real far and appears vulnerable. I am going to try mounting it on my chest protector and maybe on the headlight shell of my bike.

I have a camera mount on my handlebars, and tried mounting my MiniDV camera to it. However once I started up my YZ490-powered WR, the vibration was so bad that you couldn't see anything and there was so much tape/head separation that the dropouts were immense. So I had to axe the MiniDV idea, which was normally what I usually use in my Trans Am when racing. I need to either get a portable digital video recorder of some kind, or else something like what you've got.
