				I checked the web site and they have sample vids. They look pretty good really. I think I am going to go that route, I didn't realize they were that affordable! Just be fun to be able to show others what you see while riding.

				PM MFDB before you buy one, he has done tons of research and has friends who have tried everything on the market. he just bought on, so he will give you a good idea of whats out there.
the oregon ones are alright, but the framerate sucks so the video isn't very smooth.

				I have a GoPro Motorsports camera. Very easy to use because it stores the video on an SD card you can then load directly into your computer. They have new wide angle version that's even better than the one got.

I don't know Danny but they both are 30fps and the ATC2k is damn near half the price
ATC2K 640x480 GoPro 516x384 
mmmmmmmm 
OS also makes a wide angle now too but I don't think it is as wide as the gopro's.  It is the ATC3k
Here are some videos JBaze

Thats what I was wondering, the difference between 100 and 200. But it's hard to believe there adds too because they will all say there's is the best. But with what I've seen so far the ATC is best value for the money for what I want, but I am going to continue researching them. Thanks for all the links guys. Cool.

				I know my ATC is not as good as one that plugs into a camcorder but for the $ I think it is by far the best on the market.

i have both the wide angle and the regular....the regular is a 3 megapixel and still looks good but the wide angle is a 5mp and super easy to use. plus they have a ton of attachments....even used on the side of my car.
