GoPRO has much better footage in that video.

Not sure if it's worth the extra price, but the support and mounts make the GoPro better IMHO.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking..

However, a little slab of velcro, and some testing could get a solid spot on a vehicle.

The GoPro does look 100 times better.

I'd much rather have a GoPro
But for the price...

Searching on amazon, you can find this booger for less than 20 bucks

I watched a video review of it on youtube(808 #11). If you watch the HD video of it, it doesn't really look that bad. Obviously you wouldn't use it for a major production but ******* around in the car or on a bike with it, I think it would work just fine.

These are the main specs you want to look for if you want the real HD version. The $12 one on amazon doesn't do HD, on ebay it's around $40.

Yes it's HD, but man is it bad HD. It's very pixelated and the color correction is just terrible.

Plus the GoPro has much better viewing angle.

For $20 the only thing you would want to do with that is use it in the womens locker room.

I'm not saying it's a replacement for the go-pro...a blind guy could see the difference but if you're low on cash it would work. I won't be buying one, just wanted to post what I learned about it.
