ok, so i just ordered the new VholdR helmet cam from Twenty20, and it doesn’t require a separate camcorder at all, so you could just completely skip over having to buy a new one. I’ve been using it for snowboarding, and all I have to do is put the mount on my helmet, then I’m set for the day. No wires, no separate pieces, everything comes together in one package. it might be worth checking out if you want a REAL birthday present!
