Motorcycle Video Camera Comparison Part 2: Video Quality

[razorbackblood06]

Is audio quality not a big factor for most people?

[wbwvids]

@razorbackblood06 The audio quality of most of these cameras is pretty bad, although if you play with the mic and add some foam around it to block the wind, sometimes you can at least get halfway decent sound. Some of the newer cameras are coming with external mic jacks.

The Tachyon XC HD is a 720 camera. But this video seems to show the recording in SD 640? Black borders.

@187Premises Read the webBikeWorld. review, the camera has problems editing with Windows and had to be converted to .WMV first.

[geezmoz]

how about GoPro HD?



[wbwvids]

@geezmoz We reviewed that, the VholdR and many others. Check webBikeWorld for all the reviews.

You should try the Kodak Playsport ( Zx3) as a motorcycle camera. I use on with a mini magnetic wide angle lens and it works great (you don't need the lens, but I wanted a wider angle because I plop it in my helmet as a helmet camera). It's also waterproof up to 3m! It's pretty cheap too.

@dazzelya Thanks for the tip, we reviewed a Kodak videocam a long time ago, need to get another to try soon...

love how the date says it 2013/03/17 its clips from the future

[wbwvids]

@zero937 Didn't bother setting it, I hate those auto time/date stamps.

[zero937]

@wbwvids ahaha who does lol 

[GForceNinja]

how do turn off the date stamp on the MD80?

[wbwvids]

@GForceNinja The MD80 doesn't have a time/date stamp? The HD50 does, read the review to learn more about it.

last test 2013 year...wea have to catch up.....

[wbwvids]

@Zac89nG Read the review, had no idea the camera was imprinting the date and there's no way to turn it off. I guess I'll have to set it correctly... Hate those auto date/time stamp things.

@wbwvids just kidding man nice video !
