Mini hd cameras
« on: 21 January 2013, 19:21 »
Evening all

Just got back from snowboarding in Anodrra (soldeu) really nice place. Just felt like I needed a camera to strap onto goggles. Most people had go pro ones on sticks or on helmet but I don't like the design of them.

Been looking at bullet hd cameras and seen this one http://www.hedcamz.com/cameras/bullethd1/bullet-hd-lite?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tp-ecommerce.tpl&product_id=168&category_id=3

Anyone ever used one or has a different type? Looking to spend under £150-200

Thanks

long and short is you can't beat the go pro, the closest rival in terms of quality is the  Contour+2, can't comment on the Bullet; never heard of them.  My recommendation would be get the go pro as they are the most versatile of the lot; for example chest mounted, ski pole mounted, pistol grip, tripod mounted, helmet mounted, windscreen suction cup the list is endless.

If you don't want the go pro style then get a contour for the video quality over the noname ones.

But go pro look stupid stuck on someones helmet. Make u look like a teletubby lol

Want one that can attach to goggle strap which is why the bullet shape one would be better.

Contour looks quite good

you don't have to wear it on your helmet either  :wink:

I find the chest rig much better on the snow that the helmet mount, also you can quite easily strap it to your boot or anywhere else you fancy.

There's a reason why everyone has go pro's....they're the best you can buy.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
