Tisk......

Certainly echo the 'need a fast memory card'. The supplied card is OK for 'storage' but just doesn't have the speed for the 3.6mb/second writing speed needed. Absolutely no stuttering with the Class 6 cards (6mb/second).

Pretty pleased with the cam for £23.... and another £14 for the 8gb card (4gb was out of stock).

I mounted this to my bars with a 'spare' velco strap (has rubberised bits in it to stop it slipping on the bars) - quite impressed with the picture quality, given the vibrations from the bike.

More likely, it will be attached to the rucksack strap.

fossy, did you get it off ebay from hong kong? if so how long did it take to get to you?

 

[fossyant]

I did.... just 8 days to get here (10 with the sorting office being shut so I couldn't pick it up) - recorded delivery ! It was a 'buy it now price' - those that went on auction were coming in about the same, and this had the bit's i wanted. It was about £18 plus £7 postage.

 

[Tharg2007]

when you say bits you wanted what bits would they be?

Doesn't come with the helmet mount, but you get the silicone skin, wall mount, clip mount, pouch, charge cables etc & lanyard.

TBH these little things will fit anywhere with a bit of velcro strap !

Here is a similar item.... very much a Muvi clone...

how water resistant is the silicone case? I noticed that the card sticks out of the side, does it interfere with the silicone case?

 

[fossyant]

The card fit's flush when pushed in.

I wouldn't use the camera in heavy rain, even with the silicon case on it.... the top button/mic area is open to the elements...

 

[Tharg2007]

light drizzle ok then?

 

[fossyant]

Here is what I got..........(now't else to do at the moment - got builders doing our porch at present).....

The camera is there somewhere......

thanks for the pic, it customary for overhead shots of this kind to include a toe though

Oooh! At that price I've just got to get me one. Soon I'll have a rear view camera!

It was well worth the punt.....just use the supplied 2GB card in a phone..... and get a quick one instead....

Should be easy to fit for a rear view.....

One thing......I lost the last few minutes of my ride - just over 30 mins.... switched the cam off by the power switch.... don't...use the off/stop button.

Bought! We have just had an offer on our house today, so I had to celebrate somehow!
