The scooby boys rate them:

Red16 · 21-02-2010, 03:26 PM

Looks and sounds like a bargain!

PT · 21-02-2010, 03:27 PM

Nice one Dave, send me the commision whenever lol

This seems to be the memopry card to get with it reading the scoobynet thread

dave cos4x4 · 21-02-2010, 03:36 PM

all done, thanks Paul.

madsi · 21-02-2010, 03:37 PM

might get one of those for when the bikes ready for the track

furry · 21-02-2010, 06:33 PM

I use these for car and track days, also ideal for nurburgring as there small and compact.

Do a search on you tube for envyautodesign and there is footage from my R1 using one.

rstdave · 21-02-2010, 07:06 PM

How do they fix them inside the cars etc?? I'm guessing it's not specifically designed as an in car video camera?

bouncy · 21-02-2010, 07:25 PM

I use one, still £14.99 ebay, real bargain. The units arnt good quality but who cares for that sort of money.

Use a good quality class 6 card in it as it stops most of the jerkiness.

orion_crazy_carl · 21-02-2010, 08:12 PM

love the video, he is giving the posh fiat a run for its money lol

Trist · 21-02-2010, 08:44 PM

have you got links of the cards mentioned to using these?

Trist · 21-02-2010, 08:48 PM

also just looking through e bay and they range from buy it now about £2.89 to £44 both from china.
what is the option to go for.?

Porkie · 21-02-2010, 09:05 PM

I bought one off Amazon.

so I know have the most expensive trackday cam with my Aim SmartyCam and the cheapest!

be fun doing comparisons!

PT · 21-02-2010, 09:06 PM

I bought it off this guy, UK seller. Postage costs vary from Hong Kong and China, so are all about same price

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DVR-Sports-Voi...item414c3aa230

and memory card off here

http://www.ginger6.com/peak-micro-sd...l-p-31160.html

PT · 21-02-2010, 09:08 PM

Might strap one round my neck when next out on the piss. Could be interesting lol

Porkie, no doubt your AIM cam will be leagues ahead, but its worth a punt for £35

tsutton · 22-02-2010, 02:00 PM

Very good, just went on ebay, found one, but there was a bidder already on it. So outbid 'em at the last min, won it for £15.50 inc free P&P, UK seller. So should get it soon.

Thanks for sharing!

Mike C · 22-02-2010, 02:22 PM

Trist · 25-02-2010, 10:28 PM

Anyone know of a good priced MicroSD 16GB Class 6?

Cheers!

tsutton · 03-03-2010, 10:18 AM

Also how many hours can you fit on the 8GB card from that camera?

Chip · 03-03-2010, 10:28 AM

Nice one, also bought one, and got a few of those cars as with the adaptor they will work in my other cameras too hopefully.

Alzay · 03-03-2010, 12:21 PM

Just bought one for my trip to Scotch Corner.

tsutton · 03-03-2010, 01:17 PM

It's a shame that you can't wire up the USB cable to it from the cig socket to keep it charged up all the time... the record won't work when it's plugged in.

Unplug it, the record feature works.

Allyc85 · 03-03-2010, 05:22 PM

Mine turned up today, might go try it out later
