Seems good, price is cheap I think, trouble is with the demo video of paragliding it's all distance and little close up stuff so cant see how it deals with focus up close and shadows.

But for that price, who cares right?

Thats it,cheap,don't need a camcorder,i also found it for 10 bucks more on another site,but it comes with a 2g card.The only thing i don't like is that it doesn't say if the camera has a mic or not.

Gday NG,

I brough one of these for my 4wd. There are a couple of things i noticed.
1.The AA batteries will last for an hour of recording. I ended up spending a few $$ for the 2200ma batteries.
2. I had it on the front bullbar and put it about a foot under water. The recorder survived.
3. You can turn on and off the sound recording and there is also a couple of resolutions you can record.
4. It makes beeps so you can hear when you start recording and when you stop. I think one beep means you have started and two means you have stopped.
5. The footage isnt too bad. Youll definitly notice that it captures every head movement.

Generally is a good little gadget. Just make sure you put vasoline on the rubber o ring to seal it up and carry a few spare batteries
