I have a Contour but I'll be up there with you using it. Hit up Corey and see if he'll lend you his if he still has it. Last I knew he had the Contour with GPS.
Have you looked at the video from one of the HD keychain cameras? They're $40 plus a memory card, and are so small some folks are mounting them in their helmets, behind the visor. You charge the battery and download the video via USB.
I have one and I'm going to try to hook it up next to a ContourHD to compare head-to-head. Except the Contour isn't charging the battery for some reason....
ill ask Corky

HD Keychain camera set up as a "tail cam". $37.95 shipped from eBay. 2GB cards seems to give about 40 minutes.
Skip ahead to 5:30 or so if you want to see anything remotely interesting.

Sweet.
Got an 8GB card for the ridiculous overkill and future proof "what else can I use this for" factor for all of $14 from NewEgg. Done for $55 where I was gonna blow ~5x that for a go pro.
The PO of my bike mounted what I believe is a tourtech GPS dash on the bike and ran USB power, presumably for a GPS. Some velcro on the dash seems like a perfect mounting spot for this thing. And the USB power might work.
Anyway, sorry for the thread jack.
thats a cool set up.i dont know if i want to spend the $$ just yet and i may be cutting it a little close on delivery.

You probably got one of the ones that does 640 or 720x480 - standard def. Not the HD ones.
The $37.95 one is advertised as a "#11" and is supposed to shoot decent 1280x720 (720p). Read all about 'em here.
Ok my bad. Didn't realize they had HD ones. But damn, for $40 you could save a little and get a contour for like $140.
I have a ContourHD, currently $146.95 on Amazon.
It stopped working, off warranty. No repair or trade-in option: they suggested buying a new one. $146.95 is kind of steep for about five uses.
It's also 102 grams versus 20. But whatever floats your boat. Just trying to give the OP another option.
i have a helmet cam brand camera that has been very good to me, but it quit on me last season when i was trying to record MMC full. havent had the chance or $$ to ship it to them to find out whats wrong with it.
