After a couple of weeks of testing The Adrenaline Systems Dirt Bike Cam Sport I and the Oregon Scientific ATC2K I have to conclude: (check out my original post below)
The adrenaline camera is by far the best choice as far as quality of footage and sturdiness. It was easy to set up and connect to my camcorder. The Li-Ion battery
gave me 8 hours of power. I took a couple of crashes with it and the camera took the beating with no problem. The resolution was excellent at 580 TVL since it is a SONY ccd which is really worth the money if you want decent video.
The mounts on the adrenaline systems can be used on your helmet and your handlebar, frame or fenders. I got some pretty wild video all over the place. Some was dizzy and some was
just sick.
The ATC2k from oregon scientific was easy to carry as it was modular but the video is low quality and does have a tendecy to freeze up with excessive jolting. It is cool that it all goes into the SD card and no need to strap my camcorder to my pack. This little cam i can use for some fun YouTube stuff.
My conclusion: spend the extra bucks to get the real deal. In the end is worth it and you will be able to save forever your coolest outings!
================================================
I would like to ask advice from any forum members on Helmet Cameras, specifically for Dirt bike / Motocross use.
I have bought two action camera kits. One from Adrenaline Systems and another an Oregon Scientific SD based system.
The model I purchased from adrenaline systems is the Dirt Bike Cam Sport which comes with microphone and dirt bike / MX specific mounts. They look very sturdy and are
easy to set up. It took me just a couple of minutes to set it up on my bike. What I like about it is that it comes with mounting for both helmet and the bike itself.
I have also set up the oregon scientific camera. I have not had time to take either out for testing on the field.
My questions are as follows: Is there anything I should keep in mind while using these systems? Are there any tips for good set up?
Any preferences?
Both look promising and will try them out over the next couple of weeks. Any feedback is appreciated.
I will post my impressions as soon as I can use both cameras on the track.
Thanks!
