Helmet Cam Video Trial Ride

Tachyon XC Helmet Cam. Cost ~ $150 U.S.
I made the handle bar mount stiffer, but it still isn't stout enough to keep the camera from jumping when I hit bumps. The light is too low so the video is struggling with pixelation.

That looks like a nice camera, and the price looks good too, lots of accessories.

It should be lots of fun watching videos of all of our friends riding during the next few months.

One note on videos and Youtube... The videos don't compress enough when you upload to the web so the quality is significantly less when viewed online as from your computer hard drive.
Merry Christmas to all...

...but who can name the singer, and the song, accompanying the video!

A clue - as a very young lad I saw him, with his band, in the pantomime at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham, England!
