Anyone had much experience with these?!?

I know the gopro's etc are really good but there is no way I can justify spending that much on what is basically a toy for me...

Has anyone used a cheap "china" one off ebay? They seem to be alright, 480p and 30fps and for the price if they end up shitting themselves who gives a fuck.

Gopro HD FTMFW!!!!

i have my mates one at the mo, records 1080p. stuck to the side of my helmet on my bike the picture is awesome. Very little vibration and you can see clearly right of into the distance.
You could even c the reflection in the side of my visor and c the car infront number plate clearly.

Think they are about $300ish on ebay atm.

The Go Pro might cost more but you're just going to waste your time with cheaper cams.
I've trialled quite a few on drag cars and bikes and the Go Pro has definitely produced the best results.
