onboard video ???

[d_alexand]

I've seen 5MP digital camcorders going pretty cheap... What's the best setup for getting onboard video for motocross riding?

I've gotten onboard videos on a street bike with an old camcorder (camcorder in the tail section connected to a helmet cam) but the local motocross tracks tend to get pretty rough so I was wondering what type of video camera would be best to get clear footage. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Helmet cam with a fanny or back pack. The higher it is on your back, the more stable it will be, and the shake can be reduced even more by padding the bag.

I use a completely self-contained Mustek DV4000. My 10 year old just got a DV5200 for his birthday. It doesn't seem to have any better quality, though:
