I am a newbie at the Youtube thing, but got this great Vholdr Camera that I attached to my helmet and took some videos this weekend and last. Below are the links. They look best if viewed in "high quality"

If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got, and then one day you’ll find yourself in second place. Stay focused.

You need to click on "view in high quality" which is in the bottom right corner of the image.

The original quality is definitely better than on Youtube (even with high quality selected). I will post a link later to the Vholdr website with the same video posted. Vholdr hosts their own video site, but it does not allow for as long a video and they don't have the cool music feature from Youtube. Downside is that it doesn't hold tons of video - maybe 1/2 hour or so total (2GB chip), so you have to turn it on and off so you don't use up the whole chip on a boring section.

How do you post with the youtube window rather than the links I did? This is way cooler.

Can you use a bigger memory card or is the chip installed so you cannot ?

My wife bought it for me online as a present. Not sure how much she paid, but it can be found at http://www.vholdr.com. It works really well so far.

Nope. It is a SD-micro chip, and the manual says 2GB is max chip it can handle.
