Just bought and tested one of these....

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005Q6CJI4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Cheap but works well AND of course they just reduced the price to under £10 !!!!

May work on a bike if the suction cap fixes to the inside of a fairing or maybe even the tank? (Not sure about voltage?)

First time I used mine I filmed a young girl drive straight through a red light !!!!

Worth a lookie lou.

Damm good heads up there - cheers, just bought one

taylor · « **Reply #2 on:** 23 March 2015, 04:43:34 pm »

do you need the card and the other thing with it? I been looking for one, that looks fine.

DILLIGAFF · « **Reply #3 on:** 23 March 2015, 05:12:20 pm »

Will need an SD card, bigger the better, but comes with everything else. Has a USB lead and a 12v car ciggie socket.
If you work out how to turn on the Infra Red let me know.
As I say you may find better but probably not cheaper?

Nice find, I've added it to my wish list for now and will probably buy it when funds aren't as dicey as they are right now

taylor · « **Reply #5 on:** 23 March 2015, 06:50:34 pm »

just ordered nice one.

I had one of these, worked fine for a few months, then it started to only record when it felt like..

not the best quality, or the easiest to use.

hope you have better luck than me... I use my Contour Roam camera in the car now as well as a helmet cam.

I know it says you preferably need a 32Gb Class 10 SD card but which SD card is it exactly, there appears to be a choice, like micro sd, ultra micro sd, etc?

Dead Eye · « **Reply #11 on:** 24 March 2015, 12:53:23 pm »

Standard SD size (aka not Micro or Mini)

Nice one, i ordered a camera yesterday for my mum's motor.
If i haven't got an SD card hidden somewhere at home i'm sure my boss will have a stash of them at work, although i s'pose any card would do with the adaptor.

Hey thanks, iv obviously clicked on this link before.
I was after a pic of it actually set up in your motor not just a few pics on amazon with a white back ground and the box it comes so i could see how it looked set up ..
Not to worry .. lol

Found Youtube clip of a Test of this camera - looks good to me. Can't wait for mine.

Set the Youtube playback setting to 720(HD)

darrsi · « **Reply #15 on:** 24 March 2015, 03:08:54 pm »

32Gb SD card apparently gives you 6.5 hours recording of video/audio on a loop when set to 720p, but it's advised you buy a Class 10 SD card. (for those of you who can't be arsed to read the reviews)

Dead Eye · « **Reply #16 on:** 24 March 2015, 04:14:04 pm »

Note that Class 10 only requires the card to perform at a minimum Read / Write speed of 10 MB/s and that you can get varying cards even at this classification.

The card I linked to is UHS-I (Ultra High Speed I) rated and performs at up to 45 MB/s despite the minimum requirement still being 10 MB/s. Take all of this in to account when buying a "high performance" SD Card before you get caught out like a few others who reviewed probably did.

Dinger1962 · « **Reply #18 on:** 24 March 2015, 09:22:25 pm »

Ordered mine last night along with class 10 card as recommended in the reviews when it arrives will let you know how it goes

I might use mine as a home security camera set to motion detect and have it look at the bike through the dinning room window

Cool, i wanna see if there's any knocking about at work first, but i have this week off so won't know 'til Monday, but it's being delivered to work anyway so no big deal.
There's a small chance my boss will have a large unwanted stash of them.
