I know of a new one developed as a joint venture between Sony and Arai, the Sony-Arai cam.

They are still working on the one you can use on the move, this one is only for stationary use.

Here is a pic.  ;D ;D ;D

Price - around R8100-00. Can supply more info via email if required, pm me your email.

I posted this in photography 101, very affordable to the average person.

The best (but not the cheapest) is a mounted bullet cam with separate solid state recorder.  Selecting the correct products will deliver broadcast quality video.  We use ActionCam pickups and ChaseCam recorders.

There are a couple of things to look for â??
PM for more info

When in doubt, Gas It! It may not solve the problem, but it WILL end the suspense!

take a browse on http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/action-camera/index.html

You'll find quite a neat little unit which works off SD card memory and costs 100 pounds.

This is what I use, flat out around MX track, hardly any shake or shudder, waterproof 40 m ,playback on screen on site.

Soon 8hrs continuous shooting.

Not cheap though.
