Check out the new Vholdr hd helmet camera at Sledsolutions.com. It is the only affordable hd helmet camera on the market.

can you edit the HD videos of that new helmet cam on a regular computer, or do you have to have special equipment, and does it come with editing software, and how hard is it to edit the videos?

When you say "wide-angle", is that a lens built into the outer case? I've got the Hero Go Pro and like it, wider angle would be nice.

Thanks for the replies. Is there a special program I need to edit the video afterwards or does that VholdR come with its own program?

GoPro is good. Got mine for $200 but quality isn't too good. Eats batteries.

edited mine with microsoft

Depends on how much you want to spend.

I get 6 hours of non-stop recording on one stick and at least 12 hours of battery life on rechargable batteries.

I have the Epic Stealth Cam.
Very affordable at $150, it is reliable etc, Ok on batteries, but not so great on video quality.
For what I use it for in just sharing some fun times with friends and harrassing the snowless, it's fine and I would recomend it for that, but for quality video, not so much.
It's definately not HD, but like I said, OK for the price for what I do if that helps at all.

Go pro cam.

You say it eats batteries, how long does a set last? do you need a special program to download it to the computer?

In december, you better have 4 lithium batteries. Spring riding, most times you can get away with a fresh set of lithiums.

 

[knee deep in it]

for the gopro, unless you want it on all day, a pair of lithiums will last the day.

the point of view of that GoPro cam bugs the hell outta me. either stuff looks WAY insanely steep, or just like the distance is WAY WAY out there in front of u. just feels way unatural to me.

Heres some stuff I just cut and put up. I haven't put any sound to it or anything. I need to sit down and put a video together. One of those, my riding season type of things. Just for the us.

Hopefully these links work.
I actually REALLY like the system. Works great, is easy to use and control on the fly. I have the remote mounted to my handlebars.
