Default Helmet Cameras?

Anybody have one? What's your set-up and how do you use it?

I'm looking at picking one up to document the upcoming riding season. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Any intel would be great.

I did the same with my video camera. I duct taped it to my helmet and my front plastic. Aside from the crazy looking lines on the screen from the vibration, it worked amazing. I even did some jumps and a wheelie with it on there, and it looked sweet. I wish I still had that camera.. WARNING: to not take your camera to the dunes..

A lot of us took our Cameras to Afghanistan this summer..... Mine was the only one that made it back fully functional. Can't say enough good things about the Cannon G2!

One more thing. This came with a power adapter so I had to go to my local hobby shop and make up a power pack to power the camera. I believe I paid 30 bucks and it charges with the power adapter I got with the camera. Works for hours on a single charge. They were the rechargeable batteries for R/C cars.
