The first one is so cheap your kids could get it for you for Christmas

the last one was recommended in the Gear Section of Cycle World Magazine last month

Have not tried any myself (I don't video) and can't recommend the supplier I linked to , just found them on the net.

If someone decides to give one a try, let us know how it went...and post up some vids!

Here is a GoPro knock off. Looks like it might even fit on certain GoPro accessories, but not sure. The video specs look comparable to the low end GoPro models.

I bought the top end GoPro Hero4 Black. The first one I got had a bad sensor and I had to send it back to GoPro for another. This one seems fine. Probably way more camera than I need where something cheaper would work fine. The big advantage to the GoPro are all the accessories made for them. You can buy cheap knock off accessories, too. GoPro aces sores add up very fast.

According to dashcamtalk.com there is more than one GoPro sold under a different name/brand that isn't a knockoff made to look like the part. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JFMT1RM It will accept all parts and accessories.

If you're looking for a camera, check that site/message board. There is a great deal of information available

Make sure your memory card can actually keep up, class 10 or higher. That goes for anything video or SLR photography.

not as sharp maybe, but still good enough: Polaroid Cube Plus.


has image stabilization
max res of 1440p
can do 120fps in 720p
time laps
etc

and all that for 150 USD

What I like the most is its very compact with its 35mm x 35mm x 35mm and has a big magnet at the bottom, wich allows a handy person to make something like this Cool


Now thats First Person View huh Thumbs Up
