Motab 0 #1 February 4, 2005 Hey guys and gals - I'm starting to look into putting a camera on my helmet. Not looking to do anything professional, just get some video for amusement, and to show friends. Has anyone jumped one of these, or otherwise used one in non-jumping situations? I know I'll likely get a PC109 and the appropriate headwear at some point, but I was just curious if this was any fun to play around with. http://www.doyourthing.philips.com/digital_camera.cfm Thanks!

AggieDave 6 #2 February 4, 2005 Before you think any further, please take a moment and read Paul's FAQ thats in this forum. It will answer a LOT of questions.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motab 0 #3 February 4, 2005 Yeah, I read that, and I'm still reading a lot. So far my reading has led me to understand that I'm not ready to be jumping anything nearly professional yet. I was just thinking this little thing might be something I could stick near a pocket, or somewhere else non-interfering on myself. If anyone has any video samples from it, I'd be curious to see them too. So yeah, I know I'm not ready to be doing anything yet. I'm still in the budgetary planning phase of this project, which means realization won't come for several months. I appreciate this forum as a resource, and hope to learn a few things from it. Thanks! -AndyI'm not not licking toads.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Motab 0 #5 February 4, 2005 Yeah you're probably right... It was a toy on the list a while ago, this rekindled it. Now to get that C license by April 15th.... :)I'm not not licking toads.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
