Just been reading the last few posts about Allen's MD80 with interest. I agree with Chris, Allen's MD80 just seems much better and more stable than his or mine. I think Chris is right, could be the luck of the draw with these cameras or a bad batch maybe.. I did shoot some more video with mine...

Mine folds in half and I carry it up 2 flights of stairs in one hand :p A census officer stopped me once for a chat and noticed i was holding the bike and said, god you must be strong. :cool: And one time, a little girl saw me holding it and said "what the hell?! you broke your bike in...

Many thanks Chris, you have confirmed for me what I sort of suspected..I just watched your video and it looks very much same as mine, that strange flicker or wobbly thing in middle of frame.. still, the resolution and colour is not bad at all is it for such a tiny camera even with all the...

:eek: That is the MD80, repackaged?! Exact same camera as mine.. I paid £20 quid for mine with 8GB from 7dayshop.com.. but the camera sucks if you move..I have confirmed this beyond any doubt now.. unless you move *real* steady and slowly, it will drop frames and suffer picture flicker and...

As far as I can tell, it's somewhere near top of the unit..if you look you'll see two little holes, one on the left and one on right.. the mic seems to be near to them as if you tap there it picks up loud.

I think some cameras can be quite discrete and not easy to spot on a bike, especially very small ones you can get now. As for the criminal evidence side of things..I think cameras increasingly have a role to play and as they are now HD-capable and very clear, it's easy to recognise a persons...

Thanks Alan, it's just the left knee, an old injury..gets a bit stiff, maybe I been overdoing it a bit lately with the cycling probably just not used to it as I haven't been cycling much before I got the electric bike.. I only cycle for leisure I don't need to commute to work or anything...

:D haha :D Looks like might be sunny for a few hours t'morrow, might venture out on bike with the cam.. supposed to be taking it easy got a bad knee.. might have to make use of the throttle and give the old knees a rest ;-)

It's a good job you saw or heard it come off else you would of had a lot of back tracking to do to find it down that winding country lane..

Eeeeerie video indeed. I watched it the first time with no sound as my system was playing up then rebooted and watched again with sound.. the way the camera went round and round before it landed was a cool effect, like it, or you and it, and had been sucked into some time vortex ;-). The camera...

Wow it's your Dahon. That's an earlier model than Espresso, a Zero-G / X500 I think? Dahon folding mountain bikes - Zero-G and X500 models It looks a better candidate for conversion than the Espresso with the sturdier front fork. It must be strange riding unassisted if you're so used to it, I...

Good post tillson, I don't think anyone could put it better. I agree with what you say about avoiding a physical confrontation just because you don't know what someone is carrying on them or has in their car. Or their mental state of mind for that matter. We also have to remember a car is a...

Incredible. At first watching I thought it must be some software trickery but it's not it's real isn't it. If only our cameras could remain as stable as a chicken's head!

Oh dear another road rage incident. The camera glasses sounds a great idea. I'd be interested to see how stable they film I imagine it would be very good being head mounted, a good alternative to the helmet mount.. perhaps you could post a review if you decide to order them?

I have been looking ALL OVER for a case the right size for my LiFePo4 battery packs and have had very limited success. They are either ridiculously expensive at the size I need, or too small or too big. I did find the perfect size and design housing on Aliexpress really cheap and was delighted...

Camera ideas...(geek alert) Ok this is probably better in our (hopefully) forthcoming camera forum, but I had a couple of ideas I wanted to just put down before I forget (my mind is terrible these days, must be age catching up on me).. One of my many hats is a perl programmer, and I've...

I just popped it on the electric scales and it weighs a mere 16g, and 19g with it's clip holder. There is also a silicon skin which came with it, which might help weather-proof it a bit...also various other bits of mounting stuff which might make bike mounting or car mounting easier..

Haha no not dropped it outside yet, but its so damn small, it got away from me and did drop on the floor indoors..it bounced! I fear this camera wouldn't take much to break it it's so plasticky and tiny, the lens or sensor on my last one got loose inside somehow.. I think you may be right with...

You're right, the cycling lanes marked on the roads I find are the worse part of the road on many stretches and badly in need of repair..loose bits of tarmac all over the place, pot holes and broken glass plentiful :-/ What I normally do is stay about 1 meter away from curb but if I sense a...

First Video test available for MD80 Ok it's up. finally, after 90 minutes for 280mb / 3.2 minutes.. like watching paint dry watching that progress indicator. YouTube - md80
