Must have accessory for the Lakes Tour / track days / in general

[Northern Bloke]

Mini DV camera

Jim S brought these little beauties to our attention. He paid £20 thinking that if it was rubbish it was only 20 quid wasted but they turned out to be brilliant.

This clip is from mine and I literally took it out of the box, put in to one of the supplied brackets (bulldog clip type) turned it on, clipped it to my rear number plate and set off (hence the date and time being wrong) - all I've done is clipped the video to show a min or so.
