as the tape is wrapped helically and tightly around the record head, so you can strap it to a mountain bike going down hill at 30 miles an hour and it will continue to record.

While it will continue to record, you will still get dropped frames as the tape head bounces around through the rough parts of the trail.

MiniDV is still the best option, even considering the above.

or one of those new cameras that records directly to a P2 memory card in High Def. No moving parts (bar the lens).

Panasonic something or other, google it.

...if you've got three grand!

htay, check out the new snowboard movie 'Terminal Ferocity' by the UK's Lockdown Projects for helmet cam stuff... You can pick it up free from branches of TSA from next month.

Kipsy, wouldn't recommend DVD cams, they're not up to much. You can get a greay 3 chip mini DV camera for about £500. Loads better than the DVD cam...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
