Changed my mind :?
It's actually really good, just needed to figure it out, didn't get instructions :shock:
2gb micro sd does 27 mins of really great footage :D

OK, so it's a cheap self contained video camera? Does the output come in avi, mpg or something else? Does it come with the MicroSD? If not can you hook a brothers up with cheap ones?

I wonder what camera Jono is gonna use when he goes racing, these seem cheap enough to be able to take a risk with.

How many have you bought now Seiko and which is the pick of the bunch?

:kuda:

Ive got 2 of these things.. Picked them up for $17 each delivered :P Dont be expecting them to perform awesomely on the bike cause they really dislike vibrations..
The audio and picture quality is pretty damn good for a cheap cam though.. They'd make a good camera for still video ;)
If you plan to use it on your bike make sure you buy a Mircro SDHC(instead of the cheaper sd card), otherwize your video footage will keep pausing from not being able to keep up :twisted:

It's AVI only, which is a good thing.
8GB SDHC Card set me back $25 each. (not really cheap anywhere I can find)
I have one at home and three on order with two being for the Busa riding Bro :roll:
It does actually work as a webcam too ;)

Has anyone figured out a way to mount it yet? I've looked inside my helmet and "think" I can mount it with some Velcro but really want to look at some other options - not keen on having something flying around inside my helmet if I have an off. Going for a test run tomorrow with it clipped / zip tied to my tank bag but suspect it will vibrate too much to be useful.

Also - use the AC adapter to charge rather than a computer USB port - much quicker I've found :D

Figured out the AC adaptor bit ;)
Mounting.....mmmm let me see, going to cable tie it all over the bike and see which gets the best results :D
I will keep you posted if it ever stops raining :roll:

Took mine for a spin this morning - mounted it above the triple tree on my 12v outlet. Result was way too many vibrations. Was watchable but really not great.

Going to look at helmet mount next :D

Mate - might be an idea to pop a zip tie around the camera to secure it to the mount. Just in case :D

They were alright, didn't fall off but footage is unwatchable :shock: very very vibration sensitive :roll:
I think helmet mounting will be the only option.
Worst thing is I had a great ride down the GOR, next to no traffic and no plod.
Get home and drop my helmet off the seat and broke the r/h baseplate :roll: FFS!!!!!
It landed on the open visor.
All I can find on the net is shoei.com.au with the part but they want $24 to ship it with no other options :shock:
$24 for a 20 gram part.....kiss my arse :x

Does anybody know where else I can get it??
