a good cheap vid camera ?

[stu]

hi guys from aus.
i want a video camera for my rides but dont want to spend a fortune.i think you guys have a larger selection and knowledge than here maybe.
whos using what and the good and bad.i have a early go pro but it drives me nuts with too many selections and i seem to take still shots instead of vid.

so i want a simple one button easy set up,if there is such a thing.

cheers stu.

Stu,
I purchased an ion air pro lite last year and am very happy with it ($40). One touch operation, mounted it to the side of my helmet.
You can get them on Amazon

Video camera

Target sells a Vivitar one for about $40, online. Does video, stills and comes with mounts and and a plastic rain case. No remote, just one press operation. Works fairly well.

Same here, the Ion air pro so far is pretty amazing for the price. It so cheap that I wont have an "oh f*ck" moment if I drop it , lose it or it gets stolen.

It may be higher than you want to go, but the Cyclops cgx2 actioncam might be worth looking at, it sells for $299, and includes a lot of things that are optional on other cameras. There is a write up in the February issue of Motorcycle Consumer News by Fred Rau, and he really likes it.

I have a Cobra 805 or 8 something, dash cam, great quality and it gives you your speed, if you ever needed it to prove that you weren't speeding. Also your GPS coordinates. Got it at Costco $99

thanks guys for other replies.
i went with the ion air pro based on the first reply.i hadnt seen the others at that stage.i think it fits my budget even with the us to aus change over.boy you guys get things cheap over there.with all the accesories i think it will work just fine.its not going to be used everyday and im not making blockbuster movies so itll be fine.

thanks again everyone,this site is so helpfull.

cheers stu
