Yo Trix - these are the pads I just took out from my calipers. You can see what I was talkin about the other day. Ride with them for a week or two and it will show you where you have to dremel down. Take some white out tape and put a line seperating what needs to be grinded down and do work son.

Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
personally I dont think so because when it records at 5mp its at the size of that screen not the actual size of anything that could be viewable very well and if you resize it, it never looks good.

What's great about it: Light weight
What's not so great: Bad image quality , picky about cables, everything else
"You get what you pay for. Luckily I got this on sale for under 100 so I can't complain too much. My kids will wind up enjoying making outdoors videos for the web with it maybe, but I wanted to use it to supplement my still images with some video of their school functions, etc.
The image quality starts out bad in bright light and gets worse as it gets darker. Anything that moves will wind up tearing in a lot of cases.
I understand the difference between optical and digital zoom, and that this only has digital, but it is terrible. I have taken videos with my compact still camera at 640x480 using the digital zoom and they were 100 times better than this one.
This thing will not charge off any cable I have except the one that came with it. Since all cables look alike it becomes a guessing game to get the right one. Thankfully it came with a wall charger or it would never get charged.
Sound capture quality is bad. Everything is either loud and distorted, or almost completely devoid of sound. There is almost no middle ground. Luckily, outside you don't have to deal with that as any wind will just block out all sound with a constant hiss and rumble.
I did have to give it 3 on ease of use since it is pretty much just a couple of buttons and very few settings."

Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
if you were going to get a video camera save a little more and you can get a nice one with a hard drive for around 350

Becky, try to find a used HV20/HV30. They are a really good bang for the buck and are renowned for such.

Any cams recording to internal HDs use that horrible AVCHD format or whatever, which is very processor intensive to decode (and not supported natively by a lot of editing programs).
