Hey Steve, I remember...you out MPHed me @ Maxton AND Bonneville
on the Busa.
I'm kinda new to the PC world as i was using macs before....the program is called Nero. Took about a day to edit.
Still learning the whole helmetcam thing. Its a Samsung, SC-X105L. The quality is OK @ Best for video....pretty sturdy. The sound was HORRIBLE. I HAD to lower the volume significantly because anything over 100 mph is just crackling and garbage, can't hear the motor, too much wind noise.
3 or 4 inches in length and about 1" in diameter. I mounted it with industrial velcro on the left side of my helmet.
I know what you mean about having the camera aiming skyward. When testing on the streets w/friends I would be taping the sky when sitting up right, @ full tuck I'd get a more forward view though. I felt that the speedo and tach would be good to catch since its all white and a blur.....looking back though catching the flags @ 200 mph wizzing by would have been cool too I suppose
The lanyard is an ignition/fuel cut-off, if you go down on the bike it is supposed to cut the power to the bike. I forgot to attach the hook to my wrist
