ALDI helmet cam $70
Postby Jangari » Tue Dec 11, 2012 2:46 pm
I recall Aldi have had them before, so I'm wondering whether anyone's bought one and can recommend them for the price. Seems like a good deal if they work adequately.

Except the Aldi deal includes a memory card and is cheaper by a few bucks...

Google RD32 and you'll find quite a number of reviews.

Seems that the dropped frames thing is a bit of an issue and that the RD32II is the one to go for if any. But that's still twice the price for the time being.
I reckon I'll save my money for now and get either an RD32II or save up more and get a GoPro.

The website doesn't work.AUbicycles wrote:Updated the Rigid Mount web address (no .au) so it will work now. Nate is still taking a break and we are also seeing more mounts on the market as well.

I ended up ripping an IR filter out of an old digital camera and gluing it over the lens cover on the camera, so at least the colours are correct now. Strapped it on my helmet since it uses a non standard mount so no easy replacement for the handlebar mount. Might be able to use one of the handlebar mounts for flashlights, though.
But seriously, don't get this camera. The RD32 II isn't great either, but at least it's 1080p, uses h264 compression, and has an IR filter.
