Camcorder - best for riding?
I'm looking for a camcorder to use while riding. I don't want one too big or too dorky and I'd like to mount it somewhere - bars or helmet. Any suggestions? I'd like to spend (way) under $500. Anybody have any experience with the VholdR? Thanks!

I use a Canon DV zr series. They are less than $300.00. I have found them pretty rugged. I haven't crashed with one as of yet. But I have without the camera. I mounted it with conduit clamps from Lowes and 1/4 inch bolts with wing nuts.
