Now I use a Canon powershot sd30 digital elph. With a fully charged battery and an empty 2GB SD card, i can film 640x480 for about 48 mins, more than my usual commute.

The mount is simply a metal bar a u-bolt and some other hardware. Doesn't really work well in adverse weather though.

I'm builing a new spring mounted bracket which will smooth the video a bit.

Thanks to both of you!

I think that Oregon Scientific one is the ticket for me, to lazy to build a mount for anything. Google here I come!
