Just orderd one of these, for this price you can't go wrong.
Comes with various attachments so hopefully will be able to attach it to the C5 somewhere.
Have a look at the video of it, attached to a model plane.

Just ordered one for myself ;D Looks good. I will also keep it in the van recording the back for secirity for when I am on my coffee breaks.Nice one for the link.
-
Yes its got sound activation on it, so only records when it detects a noise. You can also use it as Web cam as well.
Just orderd a second one, and it says out of stock, but more coming soon. :'(

Thanks just done the same .....Chas

I ordered one of these from ebay to mount on the c5 somewhere and when it arrived it was junk, so i gave up. :(
However, since then I have ordered some video recorder sunglasses!!
Let me know how you get on with them - I may replace / order again if they turn out to be good (maybe I was unlucky)
-
The problem I foresee with video recorder sunglasses is that on a dull day or at night you will be recording your crash!
-
I dont think any of us are that daft coverman!
-
A couple of people I know have them for when they go on track days and think they are great for the price, I think its got many uses and for that price you can't go wrong.

Arrived yesterday..WOW !!!!!!!!! got to say that it is more impresive than i first thought. The video quality is spot on and the frames per second keeps up with the judder and movement well, no lag at all. Im using a 4 Gig micro sd, just ran a 30 second clip now and it used 50mb, will soon fill 4 gig up no probs i think, so i would not recommend nothing like a 1 or even a 2 gig to have lots of fun ;D Size is very good, comes with several straps and clips, one has a flat back bracket that you could easily fit a 2 sided sticky pad to fit the c5, a belt clip that will fit on the high vis mast also.
ill give this a :
10/10 for quality
10/10 for use and set up.
10/10 for what the uses can be
10/10 for price and postage costs.
9/10 for battery life, claims 2 hours on a charge.. hmmm. ran it this morning on a charge and got 1 hour 15 mins. will do another charge and see later.
many thanks for the up on this one. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

the batteries tend to take several charges for the cells gunk to form properly and reach full working capacity.
same happens with phones etc.
looks real bagain havng time/date stamp useful as evidence for PTW ridrs outb there
i bought a dearer one from ebay, can be powered full time and very wide lens, so its hooked of the ignition for power. i use it to record the clowns that cut me up or if they cause me an accident i have a chance to call them to book.
those who commute a lot imho well worth having, my wife's firm, a driver got knicked for 'jumping' a red light.
he had moved aside for an ambulance as a god citzen legally should, when he challenged the ticket he was told "he needed to record the time, date and registration - yeh! right, we al have pen and paper to hand, and like you can do all that while blocking traffic :(.

Has anyone managed to change the date and time on this, there was no user manual with it just a word doc, which mentions something about a program or file that should be used, but not been able to find this file on cd that comes with it, so date still showing 2008.
I worked out how to use it, but can't change the date etc...

Plug the camera in and in the dmi folder ( not the start directory ) right click and open a new text doc , copy and paste this but change the time :
[date]
2010/09/24
12:08:00
When you have done this give it 5 seconds before you unplug, not switch off first. switch back on then plug into pc, your pc will sync with the text doc and will delete the file. sorted.
-
Still not having much luck with this...
When i plug it in i get a "DCIM" folder if i right click on this i cant create a txt file from the menu displayed.
This driving me mad .....
I am using windows 7 if that makes any difference.

I will reboot pc as this has duel and test Win 7, im on xp at the moment. if you send me a pm with am email i can send you the attatchment complete. You have to go into the file DCIM then create new txt and name it TAG.TEXT . will have a look at win 7 now.
-
Ok just done it. Go into the dcim folder and right click inside this, you then have the option to create new txt folder with notepad. copy and paste the earlier date format and change date / time. any probs send me email details and i will forward attatch.

Hi there ...
I have tried this now in both XP and Windows 7, but still no joy. i am sure i am doing exactly as you have told me, but it is still stuck on a 2008 date and time :'(
i have been adding the pasted text to a file i have created in the DCIM FOLDER, this when listed shows me a file 100media and my tx file called TAG.txt
I then follow the instructions but the date/time stay the same and the file tag.txt is still there.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh :'( :'( :'( :'(
Looks like i am to remain in 2008 ... :)
-
Plod
go into your folder options and turn on file extensions. Its possible your file is actually TAG.txt.txt
-
Well after a lot of shouting and more luck thananything else i have changed the date Hooray .... ;D
I had a look on You tube and found several people had posted videos on just the same problem, all really saying the same thing, but it s now showing the correct date and time for now, , it really is pain trying to do.
At ome point it went to 2017 ..... :o
But still pleased with it for the price :)
-
electricDave is thinking about fitting one of these to the c-5000 , do you think it would cope ??
-
WOULD WORK REALLY WELL, I AM THINKING OF FITTING A COUPLE, ONE ON THE BACK AND ONE ON THE FRONT :)
