Motorcycle Video Camera

I want to purchase a video camera for an upcoming trip. It appears there are many choices on line. Does anyone have any advice or experience on motorcycle video cameras?

Video came out good, but was told after the fact that anywhere you mount it where it's visible to the rider is good for a ticket in several states. Hope this helps

It came out #1 of the cameras I looked at. It can be mounted to my bike or helmet and is even good to 100ft under water. I hope I don't need the under water protection while I'm riding. It might make an interesting video but could ruin my day.

The Poaroid a801 wil take stills and do a nice job of taking video as well. Haven't had any issues yet with camera wobble. the whole thing is removable in less than 10 seconds, and travels well on road trips.
