You'll find that the 720p @ 60fps will look much more stable than 1080p @ 15fps.
See if there are any videos on YouTube that you can look at.

I had one a few years ago, was OK.  I replaced it with a mobius one when it broke and that is much better.  For £20 you can't go wrong.

Check out a guy called techmoan , he has a YouTube channel and website that reviews them.

They're acceptable, but there is no comparison in quality between these and the expensive ones!
At the end of the day it depends what you're using it for, if it's just for accident evidence it'll be fine, if you want to start making a YouTube channel then not so much!

I am interested in one of these just for insurances use but dont like the "brick" shape ones and prefer the tube ones

I have this one on the front of my lid and it's great:

but as others have stated it's good for insurance stuff and short videos that you could mash together for YouTube stuff but if your going down that route then GoPro is the recomended choise 'so I've been informed by some Moto Vlog friends'

Nearly got taken out by a UK Mail van driver this morning and the camera picked it all up clear as day. Best thing I ever bought 'well second to the bike'  :lol

cheers guys, mainly for the just incase moments.....and also just to record my wobbling around rides....dont think i can go wrong at that price though so i will give it a go.

After much deliberation I went for the (rather expensive) Drift Ghost S.
Bought it from Beechdale Motorcycles Nottingham (checkout his riding videos on YouTube incl'g the earlier Ghost, the Ghost S and smaller less functional Drift Stealth)


I really wanted a non teletubby camera - correct. Vblogging just in case - correct. Waterproof charging without needing to change the battery - correct.
But, image stabilising - incorrect and satellite speed recording - incorrect.


Otherwise very good and clear sound (unlike TomTom model)


With included wrist band you can also take a still with single press of a large button. Band also colour flashes continually to show recording mode.
About 3hrs battery but carry powerpack in my inside pocket which can also boost phone,  Just used Cleethorpes and back form Notts. Cracking video and security in involved in something nasty.
Check out the videos!


For satellite tracking I used the mycartracks app. Very recommended but need mobile data on your phone.

I've just bought this one.
to be honest I'm not clued up on all this fancy gizmo's.
this one claims to be genuine sjcam but I thought they are all the same and a direct copy of go pro except price.
you can get them for as little as £13 to what I paid but they all look the same to me.
any idea what the difference?

My first camera was ment to be a genuine sj4000 and it cost me £15 but it turned out to be a copy of a copy if you catch my drift. It was hit and miss if it would record or not and it kept faulting out or the screen would freeze up the general feel of the camera felt cheap and brittle, my new camera is a genuine sj4000 and a better version than the one I thought was Genuine and it cost me about £30, so far I've had no issues with it and the recording on it even using the 1080 HD all the time has been amazing.

I bought one of the cheap cylindrical type. OK picture quality, but the battery life declined rapidly. To start with it'd give 80 or 90 minutes, easily enough for my commute to work, but after 6 months it was down to about 30 minutes so by the time I reached London it'd have stopped recording.
It now lives in a drawer. :rolleyes
