Just ordered the Drift Stealth from B&H. Already have the standard Drift and love it as my helmet cam. Used GoPros for several years until the Drift came out. The GoPros are no longer recording video, only stills and sequence capture. I've beat the crap out of them! Stepping up to the HD version of the Stealth will be nice. Especially at the B&H price!

I just got my new Drift HD (ordered from Crutchfield) and I am considering options for the best place to mount it. I really like MGvalerio's ability to rotate the camera in the event there is something to see other than directly in front. I am not as creative as he is so I opted to buy more stuff. Today I ordered the brake/clutch reservoir cover with RAM ball mounts, a small arm, and the camera mount from Motorcycle Larry. This will allow me to place the camera behind the windshield if I want to or off to the side of it and also allow me o rotate it if thescenery calls for it. I think the stuff is too expensive, but they had the items that accomplish my goals so I went for it. After it all arrives and I get it mounted I will post some pics and vids.

Sorry for the drkness, I snapped these real quick in the garage. I plan to take her out tomorrow and I'll post some better pics and a video of the view. But for now, here is my Drift HD with RAM ball mount on an MCL brake reservoir cover.

Played around with my son's GoPro Hero today. It's what he uses for motocross and it does well for that. Good video I thought for not being HD. I did find it hard to turn off/on or record. Lost some ride-time video because I thought it was recording but it wasn't.

Wasaki!

While in Daytona this weekend I visited a vendor booth for a company called Cobra Xtreme. The make an incredibly small camera for use in sports type applications and of course motorcycling. It is $100 less than a GoPro Hero and significantly smaller. It does not do HD video, but to simply post to You Tube or our clubs website, I really done need HD. It appears to come with every conceivable mount and accesory you could think of so I was almost sold on the spot to buy it. But I thought I would go home and do a little research first. The website is www.cobraxtreme.com and the CX-51 is the model I am looking at. Anyone have any knowledge of or experience with this company?

Dang, I didn't see that booth, was that at Destination Daytona? We popped in there on Sunday on the last weekend. Some had already packed up and left, perhaps they were one of them.
