Oregon Scientific ATC-2000

For the money, you can't beat this little thing. I bought it to capture footage of myself & friends on our motorcycles at the track. After much research, this is the smallest & cheapest alternative to mounting your own camcorder to the gas cap of the bike. It takes good video, the sound on my recordings is all white noise*. (*I had the cam mounted to the side of my helmet. Up to 60mph you still pick up engine noise, 60-100 it's all wind noise and over 100mph the mic doesn't pick anything else up) Mounted behind the windscreen I'm sure I'd get better sound quality. I noticed that in my application, the camera experienced a bit of vibration. This didn't effect the picture quality when it recorded. I say when because due to the vibrations caused by the engine, the batteries began to actually spin within the camera. This caused the contacts to scrub all the zinc off of the battery contact surface, rendering the batteries, and camera useless. A small piece of duct tape on the side of the battery, to essentially wedge the batteries into the camera and it works like a charm. I have to also recommend the Sandisk Ultra 2 SD cards. They have a quicker write speed than a traditional card and the video quality is noticable improved. To be fair, there are much better camera systems out there, but nothing remotely close to this price. Again, a good camera to start out with.
