Does anyone here have experience with the Xtreme recall products? I've been looking at their products on and off for a year now and I think I'm ready to invest in a lipstick-type cam for riding and other uses. I'd prefer to use my exisitng cam, a Canon HV 20 HD cam, and attach a lens, rather than buying a standalone system.

Here's there site: http://www.xtremerecall.com/Products...am_Package.htm

I'm open to other suggestions, too. Picture quality is important and it has to be suitable for riding.

If you have footage to share that would be fantastic.
Thanks

Here is some footage from the gopro camera

There are loads of more videos with this camera on youtube. Its fairly cheap ~ $140. But you'll have to supply your own SD card and batteries. If the footage on that site is representative of what the camera is capable of resolution wise, i'd say that's a pretty bad deal.

Go pro takes 512x384 30fps with sound.
