I bought a Canon FS100 for a trip to South Africa (reason given to the significant other) with intention to use it for this riding season (real reason).  Of course it performed beautifully in SA, and was very glad to have it there, but...

Might be a bit pricy at $250-300, but super tiny, great video and sound, and is flash based.

yeah the price is whats keeping me from getting that one.

that's why i'm hoping some one on here own's one and post a little review with video for us....

That is after shitty youtube compression. It cuts the quality of the video exponentially.

My friend has it. It is as simple as putting in the memory card and hitting record. Very little/no editing is needed afterward.

It is extremely user friendly. and the battery life is pretty good too.

A few guys I know use the Flip cam`s. They now have the Flip HD. It has the best image stabilization out of all the small cam`s available for only $220. That is the one I`ll be getting.

i just checked out the flip cam. looks cool.
would it possible to post up one of their vid...please?

and what kind of mount are they using with it?

but looking at that made me go and look at some real HD camcorders for more money. there's a canon vixia HF100 that's real small (about the size of a beer can) and they're going for under $500. that's under the price you'd pay for a pov.1 package. but i guess the drawback is they're not built as rugged...

Hi Guys!

Any experience with these products?
http://www2.oregonscientific.com/shop/browse.asp?cid=6&scid=14

A friend of mine used one for snowboarding vids, quality seems to be good, sound is a little crappy. No idea how they perform on a bike...

Cheers!

The best price I can find for the POV.1 is $550 at

Can anyone find a better deal? I'll justify one if it is under $500 shipped

I just got the Flip HD for Christmas. I plan to use it for racing this year. I've seen videos from them and they seem great. I'll be able to give a review and post video after May.

It's  pretty mediocre. It'll do in a pinch, and for 100 buck, It's not bad. You can find them used for a lot less on ebay, something like 40 bucks. But of course, the quality is pretty shitty

Damn, I might have to jump on that. That is a very good price. You wont believe how rugged this thing is. 550 shipped is definitely a bargain.

thanks for posting the video elmatador 

[ghosthound]

yeah those new mini HD camcorders like the flip are a very interesting products... my only concern is where to mount it.

I know, I'm a cheap bastard!

Haven't actually picked it up yet, just diggin on it...  I plan to have it by riding season though.  The only problem with the FS100 is that the flip screen needs to be opened in order for it to record since there's no eyepiece.  Maybe there's a way around that little issue that I just haven't found yet.

i just found this video shot with the pov.1 in an F-16 cockpit.
he does a triple roll at around 3:40 which looks pretty cool

Here are some that xLr8er took of us on the Gap, they looked really good before they uploaded to youtube:

Like I said, they looked really good before youtube. If you PM him, he can give you info on the camera he used.
