I am interested in finding a helmet video camera for regularly recording my commutes.

The ideal camera would be:

1) low-key, i.e. could be worn on a bike helmet (better than on the bike handlebar) without attracting lots of attention and making me look like a cylon warrior

2) weatherproof

3) very quick and easy to use- any delays and complications will just mean that it wonīt be used once the novelty has worn off.

4) works with low light levels


the quality of the image does not have to be very high-

I havenīt found any camera that even comes close to fulfilling these requirements- anyone know of one? does anyone regularly video their commutes and what do they use?

Do a search for joeybike. He has documented his setup pretty well.
