Default Any motorcycle vloggers out there?

Or atleast people who put cameras in their helmet/on their bike?

I'm not very good but I'm trying. I'll have a walk around and some other stuff soon.

Later on I'll tape trips to different places (including a tour from NL to Spain in the summer). Subscribe if you like (it enough).

Nice, I would also like that camera but it's a bit pricey for now.

I'll have to take a pic of how it's mounted because I had to carve out a slot in my helmet.

Indeed.

The camera is a Kodak Playsport ZX3. I just open up the visor to turn it on and then press the white button in the middle (with my tongue...) and it starts recording. The hardest part was to get the angle right which is why I had to carve quite a bit from the helmet. However, that was with my Caberg V2R. Other helmets might be less hard and perhaps just require a bit of Velcro.

I think that's how most vloggers do it...

I bought this one because it was pretty cheap shoots full HD (I film at 720P though) and is waterproof for 3 meters. The go pro is much smaller so will probably be easier to fit. There is this guy called rebelyell91 on youtube who uses the Go Pro as a vlog camera.

Memory. I have a 2gig micro SD card which will let me film for just over 100 minutes at 720P.
