I agree I said best and by best I mean the one that will allow for best movement, less weight on head/neck and the onethat will be much less potentially damaging to YOUR safety in a crash. Bullet cams are actually strong enough to survive a crash, a cmaera is not. If you crash with a cmaera on your head that is only more momentum for your head to hit the ground, this is not cool. The helmet projects out from the helmet and reduces the helmet from being able to slide or roll over in acrash. Say you start rolling (head and body) the camera causes your head to stop rolling but your body still wants too......

I still stand by my statment that you can get very high quality bullet cams. Black Phoneix productions and Blitzkrieg Films (two Aussie MTB DVD makers) use bullet cams and I am willing to say that the change in quality is very small. Yes I will admit that they either use the best Bullet cmaeras you can buy and that Black Phoneix went as far to make their own but (was pretty much a normal camera with all the casing taken apart and electronics redone so that it was only as wide/round as the lense. Was kinda like a long toilet paper roll).
