The display LEDs are the opposite way around to most cameras and green means ‘recording’ and red means ‘standby’, but once past that anomaly, it’s a doddle to get some nice footage. Log on to the products section of the Kiwi Rider web site to see some sample output and links to buy online.
5 DUNLOP SPORTMAX Q2 TYRE From $294 Distributor: Forbes & Davies
Replacing the Dunlop Qualifier, the new Sportmax Q2 draws upon Dunlop’s most sophisticated technology and construction advances, gleaned from their worldwide race programme, which were then refined specifically for street use. The new Sportmax Q2 features Dunlop’s Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) – a radical new tyre profile that provides amazingly linear steering and puts down a bigger footprint allowing greater lean angles and higher corner speeds. Add Dunlop’s advanced Multi-Tread (MT) technology and you have a street tyre that combines the benefits of a tough, long-wearing centre compound for increased mileage with a special lateral grip compound on each shoulder for superior cornering traction. For more details on the new Sportmax Q2 head to your local Dunlop stockist.
This micro unit shoots 640x480 video at 30 frames per second and d is smaller than a key fob.
