Action camera

banger san · 23-Mar-2013, 22:13

I want to buy an action camera to use on the race bike, was looking at gopro but worried by reports of lack of customer service. Can anybody recommend a small camera that is relatively easy to use, reasonable quality (when played on a laptop), easy to mount and not to expensive.

Drift, ghost, craig and I have used and decent quality with remote to turn on/off. Just dont use at Angelsey, the ****ers nick em in scrutineering shed!

I have replaced with ine off ebay, works fine but mic not as great...but at £35 delivered a bargain ;-)

Its new and £26 at present. Not supported now as the company do an HD range but its good enough.

You have to jump through a few hoops securely fitted, permission from clerk of course and installed at scrute and signed by scrute then return form to C of C.

Look on Youtube for Ghostie749 and you will see the quality of it.

Cheers guys, was going into a head spin looking at the different options. Do you think it's worth paying the extra money to get a later HD version?

I noticed in Custom Lids (Newcastle upon tyne) that they actually hire out GoPro cameras to try.
