[QUOTE="Roland C, post: 1205177, member: 36887"] Hey All, I'm in the market for a helmet cam :) and was wondering what your experience has been. I've got a Canon miniDV camcorder that takes an A/V input and I'm looking for a good helmet cam that will give me (hopefully) DVD quality video. The problem is that the specs all look so similar between all the brands that it's hard to make a decision. I've searched the threads :nod: , but I could use a little more info. I'm not interested in the low-to-medium quality options (Oregon Scientific ATC-2000, Mustek, etc). I know FruDaddy has had experience with Bulletcam and Okie likes the one from helmetcamera. Here are the ones I've been looking at (click on the links to see each one): [url=http://www.viosport.com/store/customer/ourgear.php?page=ac3_overview]VioSport[/url] [url=http://www.hoyttech.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=17]Hoyt Technologies[/url] [url=http://www.jonescam.tv/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=56]JonesCAM[/url] [url=http://twenty20camera.com/helmetcamera.php]Twenty20[/url] [url=http://www.bulletcam.com/helmet_Cams_products.htm]Bullet Cam[/url] [url=http://www.sportzshot.com/helmetcameras.php?gclid=CJ_CkfLPtowCFSAtYAodmX7CIA]Sportzshot[/url] [url=http://www.xtremerecall.com/Products/CompK_Helmet_Cam_Package.htm]Xtreme Recall[/url] [url=http://www.skullcamz.com/product_p/013-core.htm]Skullcamz[/url] [url=http://www.helmetcamera.com/acart/agora.cgi?product=HelmetCamera_Kits]Helmetcamera[/url] It seems that most of them use the Sony 1/3" CCD (with the exception of Twenty20, which uses a new CMOS) and run 480 horizontal lines of resolution and up. The question is would I even be able to tell the difference between 480, 520, and 580 resolution without running an HDTV? I've found some comparison tests [u][b][url=http://www.helmetcamreview.com/]here[/url][/b][/u] and it appears that there certainly is a difference in picture quality between the helmet cams, but they only review a few of the options. I was kind of thinking Twenty20 because they are supposed to be available from the local dealer (I wanted to try it out with my camcorder before I bought it) and they seem to be pretty popular among dirtbikers, but the dealers here don't stock them because of a "lack of demand". If anyone has had experience with any of the listed companies or has any other advice it would be most appreciated. Thanks! :cool: [/QUOTE]
