[PITA]

Looking for recommendations on a reasonably priced helmet cam. I have heard good things about the Twenty20 VholdR, but wondering if the quality of Oregon Scientific ATC3k or other lower cost models are comparable. I would like to get a camera in the $150 range, but don't want low quality video. I would like a model that works well with a MAC and is relatively easy to download/edit. I will be using for mountain biking and skiing only.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe most of the hcams in that price range are very similar. The flash hcams are much easier to download and lighter but cost more. I have an older style that plugs into a standard 8mm vid cam cheap but heavy when all said and done. Quality is ok if properly mounted, if you can use a lanc cord with the cam it's much better.
I would search cl or ebay for a slightly used flash style. Their is an $800 one that lets you view and edit on the fly it's sick.
