KeithR Posted June 3, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2012 If anyone is in the market for a video camera to mount on your bike this is a good deal. Its not HD but does a pretty good job.

Snaggletooth Posted June 3, 2012 Share #2 Posted June 3, 2012 Can't beat that! I bought the HD 170 a while back and it does a great job. I don't have the computer power to edit the HD stuff so everything is done in the 720 setting and still goods good. Good starter camera at that price.

SilvrT Posted June 3, 2012 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2012 It appears that it uses 2 "AA" batteries ... yes/no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Myers Posted June 3, 2012 Share #4 Posted June 3, 2012 Reading the description/accesories for it there is a 12v adaptor to charge it, does this mean it may run on the 12v as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted June 3, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 3, 2012 It appears that it uses 2 "AA" batteries ... yes/no? I have the 170HD and mine uses the square litihum battery, and you can get an adapter to 12 volt, but its kinda awkward as you have to open the back hatch andthe fit a new cap over the opening.

KeithR Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted June 3, 2012 Yep it runs on 2 x AA's.....last a fair amount of time......and you can also get the 12V cord etc. I use a 16G SD card with no problems. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted June 3, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 3, 2012 This is the manual for the X170 to help answers questions. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Myers Posted June 4, 2012 Share #8 Posted June 4, 2012 Just tried to buy one, no such luck. their website is not setup to allow shipping to the US. Guess I'll have to call them tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIC Posted June 4, 2012 Share #9 Posted June 4, 2012 Bob.. my zip wasn't accepted either. Let us know what they say about shipping. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Myers Posted June 4, 2012 Share #10 Posted June 4, 2012 I called and the girl who answered said they "Do not accept any orders from the US", nor do they accept any telephone orders. Looks like some one from Canada would have to buy and ship these to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spear Posted June 5, 2012 Share #16 Posted June 5, 2012 I bought one of these. $30. Fantastic unit. Light as a feather and only needs a 1/4" whitworth bolt to mount it on your handle bars. Has its own battery or you can run it from 12V or USB (I run both on my RSV). I have a 32GB Class 10 SDHC card loaded in it for six hours of HD video recording. Don't be fooled by the low, low price. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130682004135?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted June 6, 2012 Share #18 Posted June 6, 2012 I got an update from eBay this morning that a X170 was newly listed for a BIN of $70.00. Before I could post anything on it, it was sold. That didn't last long. But I did pick up something I hadn't seen before. One of my concerns with mounting my 170 HD down on the crash bar and even exposed up on the fairing was the possibility of damage to the lens from road debris. This should take care of that. Don't need to end up like the first pic. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted June 7, 2012 Share #19 Posted June 7, 2012 Price on the Visons web site is now $128. Drift site doesn't show it under products and another vendor search shows that model is discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
