We all have seen videos of rides and I would like to make some myself . Holding a camera while riding is unsafe and mounting a regular cam is tricky . Today at Kmart I saw a Vivatar helmet cam for only 40 dollars . Its only 1.3 mp ( bummer ) nd requires sd card which I want a solid state media instead of spinning disc or tape . It does not come with sd card but they cost around 15 or so . I have seen better ones but cost over 200 . So 55 for cam and card is cheap and I think I need to insulate the mic so I do not have too much wind noise which ruins the video . I wish the resolution was higher . Does anyone know of a better one that is not too expensive ? I plan on getting it next week and post some videos soon . They also had movie cams for cheap but I only want a handsfree camera and this one has 3 mounts , so it should hook up easily without needing MacGyver to help you do it . lol
Any tips would be super sweet and I will post top speeds and rides since so many good places here for a scooter cruise

Cheapest way is to get a Flip or a Go-Pro and tape it to your helmet. You can also mount it to the scooter handlebars using a mount. If you have an iPhone (or similar) with a front facing camera (or drill a hole in the mount) you can just angle the mount so the camera faces in the direction you want.

Rimfixer, Yes, that is a nice litte mini camera, I have two of those paid $13.00 for the two of them I had a 10.00 gift coupon from Paypal.
