Not after any particular brand, just looking for a small cam that i can use for a few 1/4 mile runs. just needs to be small enough to mount on the fairing and not get in the way. And enough memory for about 5 mins of action.

Ozkat, a link to the Hayabusa forum about the same topic. A couple members have bought them at good price of eGay.

Hey Oz - The only thing with some of the EBay Sold cameras is that you will get alot of digital feedback from the motor and wind sounds - ITs a high pitch tinkling sound like 1 billion thumb tacks being dropped on porcline. On the up side is that you only need a SD card to save your info on and abit of cloth over the microphone will help filter out the sound issue.

I think Fimp mentioned Twenty20 cameras the dealer is here in Brissy at Pro Accessoires at the Gabba.

i just got one through here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230007755700&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:US:1

you need a recording device to plug it in to such as a small video recorder or a mpg player type one, i have both but have real problems with my mpg player media device trying to get the signal, the one you posted is a memory card one, i haven't seen one work but they do have a big advantage of no wires & no recording device to lug around in a back pack. the only problem with the memory card one may be picture quality & recording time. it would be interesting to see. but if you do go for one like mine getting is over from the states is a big saving,

Maybe there's somewhere you can hire these camera's short term.
