Default Helmet Cam advice?

(not sure if last post was posted.. ops)

Inshort

Looking for a cheap helemt cam for snowboading.
Seen lots of reviews At3ck, AT5ck etc.
The Tachyon XC is coming out tops.

Thought I might ask here to see if any one has used it?

Is $180 (p&p) expensive as will only be using it for fun a couple of weeks a year.

Can I get a cheap normal one with a bullet cam attachement instead?

Cheers

Depends how fussy you are.

A ' proper ' bullet cam into a DV recorder / camera will give far better result but is more expensive / hassle.

Try this too - see pic - lols. Thats what I did for hot hot scooter action.

I highly recommend the Go-Pro Camera

Video quality is great, sound can be iffy sometimes. I own one and love it. Worth every penny.

Strappin a DV5001 to the side of yer head will get great pics.
A little tough getting through cat flaps, but think quality.
