MotoGP Action Video "Faster" Available on iTunes
Two wheels. 200MPH. Every man for himself.
The independent video Faster is now available for download on iTunes.
Narrated by Ewan McGregor
"Filmed around the world during the 2001 and 2002 seasons, FASTER asks this question: How do you go faster than the rest, how do you win at this glamorous, dangerous game? The movie could be subtitled: How do you beat Valentino Rossi? The 24 year old Italian, world champion in 2001 and 2002, currently dominates MotoGP. He is the biggest star the sport has ever seen and the charismatic centre of the film."

The Viosport Adventure Cam III is a compact, lightweight, high quality bullet camera suitable for use in a variety of action/sports settings. It features a Sony Ex-View CCD with 520 lines of resolution, a water-resistant housing with lens protector (or optional filters), and a coiled audio/video cord with integrated high-gain microphone.
I've had a chance to use the Viosport Adventure Cam III on several rides; here are my initial impressions and observations. I'll cover real-life performance and road-testing in subsequent installments.

DIY helmet cam mount
Here's an article on instructables.com that shows how to make a DIY helmet cam mount. It's not intended for motorcycle use, but there are some useful bits in the article. Click here to continue...Viosport Adventure Cam 3 arrived...
We received our Viosport Adventure Cam 3 bullet camera. The unit appears to be finely crafted, and sturdy enough to take a reasonable amount of abuse, which is necessary when used on a sport bike or other motorcycle.
The mounting system included with the basic camera is pretty weak, though. It's basically nothing more than a section of extruded synthetic rubber, into which you slip the camera; the base of the mount is attached with standard Velcro. (The Velcro mount is probably sufficient to hold the camera mount securely; it's the mount itself that I'm interested in improving.)
