Mine is a handheld cam Robert, just a small hd camcorder really, a panasonic TM700, will do the job as long as I can stay on my feet Wink

Robert , i use a hard drive and a bullet cam , that way i can use it on my googles/helmet , end of my board and pole too . I also have a splitter box so i can run 4 bullet cams at once , have run two at once on a board / helmet , but use 4 cam mode in race cars etc for coaching purposes
Hard rive has remote controler and has screen so can do playback too ...... alot of kit but very usful in my job too

WFM, anything on youtube so I can have a look at trhe footage ... although I'd just be using it as a self contained until with a mini SD

As far as I can see, the most important thing after a decent lens and bitrate is the inclusion of image stabilisation, does the bullet have that, or indeed, the TM700?

Robert,

Yes the TM700 does have a very good image stabiliser but dont forget it is a handheld and not a bullet cam so the specification will/should be better than a bullet.

Hey

Check this kodak cam. it's not a helmet cam but it's price is very reasonable and it has very good critics.

Just looked at the TM700, drools! But if I can't justify the £300 for a gopro, certainly can't pay £600 for that!

Will, that one looks nice, especially with the goggle mount, but I'd be worried that the bitrate is only 3.2mb/s, whilst the gopro is 15 (and Simon's Panasonic is 2Cool
