In NZ I am currently trialling the Swann SportsCam. I've only used it inside the waterproof case which means the sound is no good (but then I am not wanting sound). I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of video & it has a wide enough field of view for my purposes. At ~NZ$120 (without card) it's an affordable pilot project option.

Hello, I know that I asked this last year, but does anyone have any recommendations for cycling point-of-view headcams? I'm asking again because technology does tend to develop quite quickly. In a review of the Actioncam Action Video Camera I ended up buying last year: It's rubbish. Makes files which somehow come out both huge file size and low quality. Quite a narrow lens. Only recorded traffic noise. Batteries run out every 30mins. Having said that, at £21 if you already own an SD card and rechargeable AAA batteries it's fine for experimenting with and piloting your prospective use of video. It was fine for one part of a multi-methods masters dissertation. http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=head+cam&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=825254524436910486&sa=X&ei=p4WkTeK6LpC5hAfU3ZStDw&ved=0CEcQ8gIwAQ# Best, Pete This email may be confidential and subject to legal privilege, it may not reflect the views of the University of Canterbury, and it is not guaranteed to be virus free.
