Makes a big difference in stability of the video the wider the angle. it seems like it anyway. Check out this youtube video. I compared the standard lens, with two others that I ordered. A wide angle lens, and fish-eye lens. The fish-eye lens was mounted inside the helmet looking through my gold face shield, but still looks pretty good. Quality is much better than it looks on youtube. Also, get a good memory stick, makes all the difference in the world. link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXLAfLtnXDE | ||

Obiewan, Are all them MD80 cameras on ebay the same as what you got,or are some offering different items included...What all did you get with your order and do you have the link on which one you got? Thanks | ||
| Obiewan |
No, they are not the same. So be careful. When I ordered them, they were 16.95 with free shipping. He has them listed for 18.95 now. I got the camera from here http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Mini-DV-DVR-Sports-Video-C amera-Camcorder-Cam-MD80-/120694547235?pt=LH_Defau ltDomain_0&hash=item1c19f4a323 And I ordered the lenses from here. http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone- lenses/ | ||

Could you give me a list of all items that you received with your purchase from him... | ||
| Obiewan |
From the link on ebay, it shows everything included. No extra lenses though. You have to order those separate . Charger, several mounts, CD for web cam install, lanyard, jelly cover. It does not come with the remote shown. | ||

So..it does have a memory card or built in..I see some you can add a card or? Also ,So them other lens will not come off when riding down the road etc.. Thanks for all this info btw... (Message edited by hogs on March 22, 2011) | ||

It does not come with a memory card. Built in memory is very small. There is a micro SD slot on the side for the mem. The jelly lens I ordered is blurry, but the one from photojojo is crisp and clean. You have to glue the metal ring on the camera. The lens has a neodymium magnet on contact side that holds well. I have mounted my camera inside my helmet, looking through the face shield. No wind to knock it off. The wide lens is small enough that the wind should not be a problem, but the fish-eye lens would come off in the wind. I have pictures of all this, I'll post them up this afternoon when I get back home. | ||

With that lens being magnetic, any concern for it rattling loose from the camera? | ||
| Obiewan |
Netty, Yes, but I mounted it inside the helmet. No concerns there. No wind to knock it off. The Wide lens will stay just fine. If you want to mount it outside the helmet, I would fasten a leader to the lens just in-case it falls off. | ||

Can you use it plugged in to aux power? Battery Active Life: 40~100min is to short for my rides. | ||
| Obiewan |
Yes it does record while plugged in. You would have to make sure the voltage is correct. | ||

Obiewan, I see many of these on Ebay so, as long as they say MD80 they are all to be the same cameras etc.?? Also I wd. guess if one has it mounted on the bike somewhere there will be way too much wind noise etc.? | ||
| Obiewan |
I mounted it on the front fairing of the bike, and it shakes too much for a clear picture. I also clipped it to the top of the face shield out side the helmet, it worked great there with the wide lens. I think the fish-eye lens would blow off. They are not all the same, I would get it from the same seller I got them from on ebay.The link is posted above | ||

The lenses and mount ring. Left to right. Macro, Fish-eye, Wide angle. The wide angle lens screws onto the Macro lens. The Fish-eye lens is one lens.     |
