wildtoy Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Does any one know where I can buy a waterproof wireless camera from? William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchlb44 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Video or Still? Olympus do a waterproof/shockproof still (i think most other brands do aswell now) For Video: Search "Helmet Camera" on ebay and there are HEAPS of fully independant bullet cameras that record straight to SD card... Image is definately not film quality but it is reasonable (there is a link to a demo). They say it is waterproof to 3 metres? $200-250 I'm not sure if this was what you had in mind... but it might be a start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchlb44 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Then definately have a look at the Helmet Camera on ebay! Its totally self sufficient, you get about 2hrs of recording time on a 2gb card and its submersible! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/WIRELESS-HELMET-CAM-CAMERA-ATC2K-ATC2000-ATC-2000-2GB_W0QQitemZ230147739492QQihZ013QQcategoryZ39834QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Have a look at the demo video aswell!

tonyquoll Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Recently got an Oregon Scientific ATC3K, waterproof video 640x480 pixels, SD card, $200. But where to mount it? Wear a helmet with it on top? On a rod to put it behind the boat? I like the idea of someone on start boat filming, a few boats on the water filming, and editing it together for YouTube race reports; show the world what cat sailing is about! Will be trying for footage of Paper Tiger Internationals this Easter. tonyquoll@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB2 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Seabreeze.com.au has the Gopro as their camera best pick but they also want $399 for it http://www.seabreeze.com.au/Shop/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboutcats Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've had the Oregon 4 years, you can lower the quality of the video and go out to about 5 hours or 40 mins of good quality. I mount mine on my spin pole now but when I had the 5.8 I used 20mm aluminium tube that went from the top of the dolphin striker to about 600mm in front of the jib bridle where it bent up about 300mm. I cut out the end of the tube to fit around the striker then tied the other end at the jib. I posted a vid on you tube "Nacra 5.8 catamaran in waves" you can see how it works if your interested but don't laugh too much at the standard of sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks for that; the looking back view is pretty cool. the sounds had been deleted for some copyright infringement. Maybe I can make up a clip to hook the camera to a front stay wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
