Default helmet cam troubles

i just got a Vio Sport Adventure 3 helmet camera for xmas and i cant figure out how to record to my memory card, i can only record to the MiniDv cassete. (my comp doesnt have a fire wire hook up so i cant download the cassete images to my comp which was the hole point of getting a helmet cam) so is there any way to get it to record to my memory card or will it only record to my cassete.

BTW my video camera is a Canon ZR85.

I am reading through some info on your camera online now........the first thing I read said stills only on the SD......I just found something that says "short video clips"........still trying to find the correct info for you.

i ordered mine from a website. there are tons of different helmet cameras, you have to find one you like and can usually get them off the internet, you just need a credit card.

Why not try getting a Fire Wire card for your pc? That may be the cheapest thing to do.

Here are a few.
