I won't play another game without mine. I used it for the first time last weekend, and while the footage wasn't anything interesting to anyone but me, it taught me a lot about problems with my play style.
I realized that I don't move nearly enough, especially once I've fired at someone and they know where I am, and that I tend to move into unworkable areas with no crossfire support... But that's not *entirely* my fault.
About the camera, specifically: I have an ATC-2K that I mount under my barrel. Anything from the sides or behind it gets drowned out unless I'm yelling, but the audio is surprisingly clear. Video is YouTube quality, but anything out to about 20 yards is fine. The camera will not accept SD cards larger than 2GB, which caught me off guard when I tried to put in a 4GB card: I assumed it would only use 2GB, instead of completely rejecting the card. A 1GB card lasts for about one hour, but expect to get about 5-15 minutes of something worth posting. Finally, bring extra batteries and don't leave them in overnight.

i got the atc5k has a screen so u can view your footage without the pc... also same fittings most useful is the handlebar clamp for your markers barrel.
although the battery life isnt as good as the 2k and 3k.
2 hours battery life with screen off. 1 hour with screen on accepts upto 2gb SD cards also

something we have just done is picked up some camillio s10s from toshiba. HD video cams, fairly small. We then had a workshop make some custom protective cases for them, still with the ability to access the controls.
The first videos just went up on ceds channel so you can see the quality, it is best in HD though.

The majority of it is in german with random english insults at times. Was the big game in poland I think at the weekend. Theres a funny charge form a very grumpy german at about 3.20
we will be testing them properly this weekend in chicago on a speedball field.
So if you know someone who can make casing this may be a better option for you - depending on the quality you want to knock out.

that is pretty cool.. is it possible to take a picture of the camera in teh casing on the barrel?
as i know a lot of people when choosing a camera want to know wheres the best place to fasten it to the barrel and what size of casing around the camera would be ideal? (eg. thick plastic, thin aluminium etc)
