Test Ride with Vivitar DVR 410

$30 camera mounted on tank during my morning ride to work. Camera stopped recording on its own for some reason but at least it saved the file!

You live in florida don't you?

@The214987 yup

[thunderhayes]

On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate this for just regular video blogging?

Cause right now all I have is a webcam, and it's far from portable, and I like to do the "walk and talk" deal.

[mdex]

@thunderhayes you cant get much better at this price range. interior lighting can make for a dark video, the webcam would prevail from the screen brightening up your face in that dept, but this camera plus a any cheap SD memory card and some AAA batteries will plenty sufficient for a video blogger out and about. Its actually nearly the same size and shape of my Motorla Cliq so its way easier to transport.

@mdex My webcam doesn't do all THAT great with internal lighting.

What I'm gathering from this, though, is that it'd be kinda a diagonal move, if that makes any sense to you.

A true horizontal move would be a really great camera (something like a Canon or even a Flip) but that's just a tad bit out of my range.

About how much memory did it take to record this video? And, besides this video of course, how would you describe the audio capabilities?

@thunderhayes When I record myself playing guitar there is definitive clipping. I get better results with a Fujifilm digital camera, but didnt want to risk putting a $100 camera on my tank mount so I opted to give this a try. I have recorded a 30min ride and it used 297mb of memory, Batteries are alkaline and lasted over an hour before I accidentlally opened the compartment and spilled them on the road. I would say this is good for a budget but you would probably enjoy the Flip more.

I bought this and it is crappy. I give it a 4 out of 10! And I am being nice about it!

The picture and sound quality is really bad, but then... what can be expected for $30!!!
