They lack at least half the high-frequency vibration damping capabilities of Sony camcorders - Sonys have mechanical as well as electronic anti-shake technology, and AFAIK the bullet cams will lose the mechanical anti-shake part.

Other than that, the Monkey Kam website is a nice brochure.

Erm, note that my reference to Monkey Kam is only in reference to bullet cameras in general; there are probably camera differences that a videophile (for example, Mr. Frey

Why not goto www.supercircuits.com or www.polarisusa.com and buy the same parts for less? I've been using lipstick cams since 1999 with a lot of success....all purchased from the above companies.

Good luck.

yeah, like Jason said, shop around the net and you'll find some good deals!

I bought from these dudes:

http://www.spycameras4less.com

specifically, this one: '21CSHRX W'

you'll need to be handy with rigging up a battery pack of sorts, but that's easy.

I like that unit because it's waterproof, it has interchangeable lenses, the quality is very comparable to my PC105 and the lowlight sensitivity is unbelievable compared to my PC105.....

it does tend to fog up easily though....

you want to spend time on the connectors, though and get really good ones.

You could also buy from http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/helmet_cameras.htm
Friends of mine jump with these cameras and the quality is almost as good as directly from the camcorder. Problem still seems to be the plug that connects the camera and the cable going to the camcorder.

If it does not cost anything you are the product.

did you have any difference in coullors?

How does it work in the urban envioment to you?

I already got the kit myself,but to be honest i have been so disapointed that i actualy dont use it.

in darker invioments(it should be abel to handel 0 lux)like sunset or twiglightzone i get blue spots in the black places(were it should be black)

In ideal conditions i can get red/brown dirt(on of my latest vids show this alot).

Pain in the A## as i got the best cam,3lenses and a remote.Plus i used mony toget the best and strongest recharcheble batteryes for it.. guess i used close to 300£ total for somthing i dont use anymore due poor qually

Stay safe

I am using the rfconcepts camara myself, and I am very pleased with it, so are the subjects of my video's: the technique used inside, the CCD, is the same as in normal Sony camera's.. I notice no difference in picture quality, the only 'problem' I have with it is that grabbing still from the video gives you lesser quality. But my neck is in better shape now ;-)
