I can see why that vid is one of your favourites, well done.
I've said it before and again now, please be very careful when riding and recording, bad sh#t can happen.
Last week my very good friend rode to the Australian GP at PI and used his bike mounted camera for the first time. At a refueling stop he spoke to one of the hundreds of riders on the same trip to PI, this bloke has the same camera mount as my mate. When questioned why his camera wasn't actually connected he was told that he'll ever use it again as a couple of hours earlier he told his best friend to ride in front to be filmed for a while. Eight minutes later his friend was dead, all recorded, very very sad.

This is really sad and to have it on camera not so cool. :y8:
However I have not been one that believes in things like this. What will happen will happen no matter what. So if he believes that it happened because he was recording it I just don't go along with that.
I also don't believe in superstitious type of things, as usual I didn't make myself clear. What I'm warning about is that many people will push too hard if they think a camera is on them or are filming for mono's or great lean angles to post on forums etc, that brings people undone.
That brings up a question I have been meaning to ask of those who use these cameras,as I have been thinking of getting one myself.
Does the fact that you have a camera running have any influence on the way you ride.?
Oh yes I agree with you here and we see this time and time again from some of these videos that are posted. I think you also need to be careful that the camera does not distract you while riding as in looking to see if its working and so on.
Harry I would think if you are a normal type person it should not really
I would say at first yes.
But after a while you forget about the camera and just ride normally.
I have tons of footage, I just dump the movie file if nothing interesting happened. If you always ride with the camera then you will just ride the same as without it.
When you first get one, you're thinking about how cool this youtube video is gonna be. After a while you can't be bothered.
It's like a Xmas present - you play with it all day in the beginning. LOL
...
Do you have it running all the time then while you riding or do you need to turn it on and off to save storage space
I have it running all the time.
Mine works on SD card for storage, I can even watch and delete off of the camera itself.

I like your comment.
My mate is coming tomorrow evening with his camera to lend to me and show footage from his Phillip Island trip.
About a year ago I was riding my favourite twisty bit of road and caught up with a small group of riders all with cameras mounted in view, I took the bait and carved them up in what I think was a spectacular way. Afterwards I got to thinking, I just took it to the limit for a camera and I'd never view the result. OK won't do that again (well I hope that's the case).
As you know i've just come back from sabie. I have over 100 gig's worth of footage that I need to go through. Did just over a 1040 km's over three days in and around Sabie itself.
I might stick some of them up on youtube if they're any good.

So was that you riding like a crazy person on the video I saw on Youtube, thought the bike and rider sort of looked familiar 
What sort of time can you record for on these cameras
I only shoot in 1080p, and the 16gig card can handle about 2.5 hours.
I have two cards that I swap out when one is full.
The lower the quality you shoot at, say qvga the more time you can record. I think at qvga I can shoot about 5 hours on a 16 gig card.
the camera I have now can take up to 32gig cards, class 4 - but I couldn't find any in the shops before I left for sabie, hence me using 16 gig.

Oh well that is a good deal of time I don't think you need more than that anyway
