Buying In Car Camera
I am considering purchasing an in car camera. Does anyone recommend a certain kind or the best place to purchase one? I am looking at the Replay XD but would like to hear opinions. I am not sure if the ones that are like a helmet cam or the one that mounts on the roll bar is better.

Check with Jim Schaechter, they had one mounted in their Chevy 2. There was a post about in car cameras some time back and he said what kind it was and the price. About to get the Firebird back together? J Gower M/S 3058

I had 2-3 customers who bought one called the "Hero", and I saw some really good video from it.

Re: Buying In Car Camera
yes the gopro hero is the best...you can buy a motorsports version that comes with a few different mounts specially for cars, such as the roll bar mount.

Re: Buying In Car Camera
i have heard a lot of good things about the replay XD and its very compact. Could be useful for some interesting mounting locations

Re: Buying In Car Camera
While we are at it.. How about one that works on a motorcycle also. You know, one of those vibrating protable air compressor types...
I've used a SONY regular video camera mounted to the handle bars. OK at speed. And also a Cannon digital camera that has video with the same RAM mount. OK, but.... I also have to tape over the microphone port for wind noise.. 2003 FLHTI w/116,000+ miles 2000 Road King w/45K
