  72. SVDR
    hi all, i was reading throught this site an thought i would leave a link to the website company i work for, we supply CCTV products, but we have a product called an SDVR. which is used by many different sports groups like mountain bikers, rocket enthusiasts, gliders, parachuters etc etc, and basically these items all you to place a very small camera on your rowing boat and record your journey, so you can play back and show freinds coaches etc. heres the
    link to the seperate items and this link takes you to a package deal we do. james.
    P.s, not to sure the package deal would be suitable for rowers as it uses a 'covert button' camera, and i would guess a slightly bugger camera would be required on a rowing boat. perhaps a bullet camera would do the job better.
    P.P.s hope i havent offended anyone posting as 'Advert' here, but i thought it might be useful.
