Going to be going on a road trip soon to the mountains and was thinking about getting a little video camera for the trip to throw on the bike. I bought a cheapy "spy camera" off ebay because I heard they are hit/miss...well I missed, big deal out 10 bucks. I know everyone likes the GoPro's, but $175 is a bit more than I can spend right now. I was considering the Flip camera series, but haven't seen many people post much as far as riding wise and stuff. Anyone have any suggestions that I can look into? Ebay seems to be the route to go, of course the cheaper the better, but it has to have some quality.

If you give me some good suggestions I'll throw some tits in the thread...

 

i have this one, it was given to me as a gift

Amazon.com: Oregon Scientific ATC 9K Full 1080P High Definition Water Resistant Action Camera with G Force Sensor and 1.5-Inch Color LCD Screen (Yellow): Camera & Photo

its more then 175 but it has been great to me, easy to use and handles the vibrations from the quad when i ride with it on my handle bars.. its been in the mud and over jumps no problems so far

 

SD HERO 170 Standard Definition Wearable, Mountable Digital Camera

If you dont care about HD ^

I have one and the quality is very good.

I also have an HD version and you can tell the difference but only under certain conditions.

 

I've been using this mounted in my helmet with velcro and it works pretty good. Decent 720p HD.

I'm looking into this one more. I'm trying to find a suction cup mount, any ideas if it is possible or interchangeable with another brand/camera?

 

I looked around a bit, but I didn't see any suction mounts. Not really sure if it's even possible.
