Just had this arrive in my inbox this morning:

www.dogcamsport.co.uk/atc-2000.htm

Ordered yesterday, for £100 and arrived sharpish this morning

Already tried it with the car, works a treat, from what I have seen it is waterproof up to 3M and will be perfect for my boarding holiday this week in Le Deux Alpes thumbup

Also comes with a handlebar mount, so I should able to capture some of my riding too

Ta for that - I've been waiting for something this affordable for my 'CharlieCam' attached to his collar pointing over his head, so we really see what he's up to. Watch this space.

Comes with all sorts of straps and brackets so you should able to fit it to pretty much anything. Fairly light too.

I'd strap it to his head

Like the idea of handlebarcam. If(when) you crash, posting is obligatory

Bear in mind Youtube is crap for squashing stuff, but this was full res - however it looks MUCH better on my screen.

You guys may be able to help me on this thread?

It seems however that there is a lot of grief over the onboard microphone being pretty crap. I've tried it and I get a lot of vibration, which I'm going to try and reduce with some neatly positioned duct tape and foam.

Additionally, from what I have read, you need to fix the camera very well to reduce the wobblyness of the picture.

However, for £100, its still a bargain, let alone the fact that its waterproof.

I'll report back on my modifications, and if others get it, can they tell me if they improve it at all?
