Let us know how it works if you use one, I've read that you need a bit of tape over the mic hole to cut down on wind noise at speed?

Does it do 720p?

I got one from a thread earlier in the year £48 but high(ish) def.

Same as Alex fitu's I believe.

'll find the thread if you're interested.

Mine has tape, you'll need more than that.  Foam perhaps.

This is similar to the one I bought.

It's not bad, but it's not brilliant either.  The go pro and ghost drift are both 50x better but it does the job.

There are two that look identical, one does 640x480 and the other does 720p

Certainly looks decent enough to help settle an awkward insurance dispute...

Similair to mine, but mines is 720p. Good if you are sticking it to the helmet. If you want to install it permanently then it needs a bit more waterproofing :)
