i wanna see your faceeeeeee

@killersullo Why? You know those paintings of Jesus that depict him as a caucasian of european decent. I kinda look like that.

kryten! Hey according to some other vlogger that got pulled over by cops... if you attach things to your helmet, it's illegal or something. Might want to check into that first :D

[kryten]

@op3l Depends on where you are and how retarded law enforcement is. I think that person was in Oregon which from what I've seen has the dumbest laws and law enforcement anywhere in the US.

It's not the most straightforward system but you could use the GoPro (mounted on the outside of your helmet) in combination with a digital voice recorder. That way you get good video and good sound, as you have a specialized video recorder, and a specialized audio recorder. And nothing will be in your face :)

@gpzDave I thought about that but it would be too much of a hassle when its time to edit. I like the Drifts because if i have multiple Drifts I can pair them all with the same remote so the videos should be pretty much in sync when I go to edit them. I'm seriously leaning toward the Drift.

The only thing I could say, I got the Drift HD 170 Stealth, velcroed to the side of my helmet. I already went 110 mph with it on and it didn't fly off. I also didn't have issues with corrupted files like billmaa had, and I use a low end SD card.

@kryten haha ok i just like to see peoples faces, dont know why... but thanks for responding.

Drift HD is good - in all ways, but need good editing hand also. A friend of mine bought the ultrasmall XD product and is utterly happy with it. But getting that thing to europe for a reasonable price is impossible. So again, no go for eurovlogggers. And I´ll have to stick to my wide angle VADO HD...

I've been running these same issues in my head for several months now. Thanks in part to your video, I finally decided to just quit worrying and order the Drift HD.

My reasons were:

size

external mic available from the dealer

aircraft intercom path cable available

standard tripod mount

I know the drift has color issues, WebBike World did an excellent comparison of several cameras that shows the problems. I'm hoping that Drift will improve the color issues with firmware update.

Thanks.

Every option I could imagine is on the Contour+......if it wasn't 500 bucks, I would be all over it!!
