Advantage of on helmet compared to on bike is that you film what you look at. Have some great and interesting footage over the years ................ including a great roadblock episode in Tassie with a cop going off his nut.thought of trying to use my own camera with the pencil cam but how do you turn the camera on an off while rideing or do you have to pull over.
A lot of the newer cameras don't have an input. My old sony has "SVideo in and firewire DV in, and would have trouble gettin Mic audio to work with those inputs except at line level, but my newer Canon Hard disc based HD unit only has outputs.
I don't want a pickle . . .
