Got me one of these - Wireless Bullet Cam

Motorcycling
1

well as some of you know my bullet cam is playing up right now ( but I will bring it with me at the weekend ) , so I was looking for a new one , and found this bad boy :

It’s a wireless Bullet Cam with 32Mb internal Storage ( I’ve got a 1Gig card for it ). It runs on 2 AA batteries and with the 1Gig card will record 1 hours of video at 640x480 res… I know it’s not the same as DV ( I’m ordering the Wireless DV ones as well ) , but since this is a total complete unit it’ll be really easy just to move it about …

It wont be with us for the weekend (on its way from the USA) , but it’ll be a pretty good laugh when it does J

I’ve converted a video I shot to the quality that the camera will output ( size, data rate , frame rate etc etc ) and it isn’t too bad … If it all works out I’ll buy another and rent it out to you guys…

Hey Lee, that’s well neat. just gonna order my bullet cam from rfconcepts right now, as it happens.

That’s pretty nifty Lee, nice one! I look forward to seeing the first video.

I want one! Where you got them from LEE?

5

Got to admit I wouldn’t order from RFConcepts again after my camera went wrong and I got zero customer service. That’s why I started looking on eBay for them… there are some from Singapore for only £21 including shipping its still only £37…

Here are a few :

All in one wireless ( Like mine ) : http://makeashorterlink.com/?K65412F2D - £85 Inc Shipping
“Normal” Bullet Cam : http://makeashorterlink.com/?J16421F2D - £37 inc shipping
Wireless2DV Bullet Cam : http://www.actioncameras.co.uk/acatalog/Helmet_Cameras.html - £150

Also if you want an alternative to RFConcepts have a look at the boys on http://www.actioncameras.co.uk

Thanks mate

RFconcepts called me this morning to let me know that the cam with wide angle lens is out of stock so do I mind waiting another day for delivery? I asked if they could send a normal one and i’ll pay extra for the spare wide lens.

They gonna send it anyway for the same price, how cool is that? So tomorrow we’ll see if it arrives.

BTW, I ordered the high res (520 line) model.

i’ve got both the lenses that they offer and what i will say is make sure it’s screwed in tight !!! you need a little tool really but if the bloody lenses is even half a turn out the image will blur

You’ll have great fun for it …

The gadget show tested those action cams earlier this year, only 15 fps

yep totally hear what your saying, but if you drop a 24 frame video down to 15fps it isnt that bad… This sint going to replace my bullet cam just go where i dont want to stick my DV camera

12

I’m thinking of going this route.

Archos AV500 100GB + Digital mini-cam

will hold 12 hrs footage or can be used as video from tv (400 hrs), mp3 or hold 1million pics

If you could post some footage up when youve tried it that would be great, i might invest if its not that bad

14

ive got a mate who does Caterham racing with an Archos and he said he to return it as the vibration continually made the unit fail !

15

sounds about right, an SD card is the safest way of avoiding vibration.

I killed a HDD JVC camcorder from vibration, took it back, got a Sony with no AV/IN thats going back today

Will be getting another Sony with AV in and some lipstick cam thingys

Knocking Fightmare I tell thee

16

You got this yet? Whats it like? and more importantly where’s our sample video

17

no i changed my mid in the end and went for this :-

It’s wireless with 30 frames per second and a lot smaller unit, and on its way from HK, that said the bike is of course still in pieces care of Mr f*cking Christmas …

Looks like a nice unit!
