To record some video of the trip I bought a bullet style helmet camera. This attaches to a camcorder which will be either in the tank bag or in the minirucksack. I only bought the bullet camera itself and its power pack thinking I could get the actual camcorder here in HK....but could I?
No way! All the new camcorders do not have AV in and the ones that do seem not to be able to record direct to the tape...oh yes, it is DV tape media that I want to record onto! Why? Because all the current fashionable uptodate tecchy crap like DVD and HDD are useless when it comes to dealing with vibrations (HDD - the head of the hard disk drive keeps 'losing' data and tries to restart or stops recording until reset; DVD - only holds 30 minutes per disk). So now what? Not yet sure apart from being very frustrated with the camcorder companies and maybe
having to find an older model item which can be found online.
Fed up with it....but something will turn up even if I have to strap the complete bastard camcorder to my head.
