one of the GREAT advantages of this camera is it's CMOS based which means it draws very little power. as a result you can get up to 20 hours on a single 9v battery. this makes it much lighter, smaller, less expensive to run, and less likely to run out during a long ride.
the new 2007 version has increased resolution and better video quality.
also, if you can match any helmet cam with a LANC capable video camera with the remote this is a huge advantage. in fact, it makes all the difference in my opinion.

LANC is a remote button that you can mount to strap for your hand or mount directly in your helmet. It works with a visual LED that gives you indicators as to what mode your camcorder is in. As you press the button, the lights change colors and flash at different rates to indicate that you are taping, on standby, camera's off, camera's on. It's also used heavily in the Skydiving community (where I got my first exposure to it.) Your camera MUST have a LANC connection to support it.PhilM wrote:Thanks all, But what is LANC???? Thanks again.
To the best of my knowledge, there are no quality helmet cams that are self-contained. I tried riding for a while with my Sony PC-1000 mounted on the side of my helmet and it was WAY too bulky. Works perfect when falling through the air, but not for any kind of riding that may send you down to the ground.Honda17 wrote:Does any one have and or know of a good helmet cam that doesn't require you to plug it into a video camera?

Ken, didn't mean to advertise for another company! I didn't even realize CRFSONLY sold helmet cameras. I've read some really good stuff on the Twenty20's. Do you have any video footage from the Twenty20's. I'm looking at getting a system for my brother.
