helmet camera is just a helmet camera..

You hoook it up to ur Dvvideocamera..The way u download it is with your Camera.

It just a lens/camera wiith a bunch of RCA cables that hook up to ur Camera.

THE MAIN THING IS TO HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA. THAT IS WHAT MATTER THE MOST. THE BETTER THE VIDEO CAMERA THE BETTER THE QUALITY.

HOPEFULLY THAT MAKES SENCE:D

try jonescam.tv

or helmetcamera.com

My Camcorder is a POS,my zoom is messed up but I could get by with it if I need to. Thanks Blue.

Yeah Jeremy used the same camera u have with it. The camera is just 2 big for MXing.. But for dunes will be OK.

they can go from 199 to 400..

For the dunes you can use a Backpack and put it in there...We used a fanny pack.

Granny has the helmetcamera and it works good. check them out on their web

the crappy thing about helmet cams is that their really is no top of the line cam. all the cams on ebay and at stores like best buy really are not that good at all. ive found that this cam is the best. it has its own normal digital video camera which has awsome video quality and its about as big as a guys wallet. and it hooks up to your computer threw a usb cable
