RECOMMENDATIONS - GO PRO OR OTHER BRAND

Thinking of getting one of those fandangled moving picture thingoes for the motor bicycle, being a simple lad from a simpler age what is the best value for money, i.e. cheap, good battery life and environmentally tough and easy to fit easy to use/edit camera out there on the market. Look forward to the well researched and verbose responses, keep the tech talk to a minimum I have a very short attention span

[dickfaber]

yep, get someone else to do it for you!

I bought a Gopro years ago mainly for my dirt Motorsickle
But hardly ever use it coz like you i have a very short attention span and the editing and uploading does my head in

[lunatick]

Also you take some footage and you think your going as fast as fark
Then you replay it and realise just how slow and shit you really are

I've got a Drift Stealth 2, which has a dashcam mode so it overwrites itself in 10 minute blocks. About 3 hours battery life. Got mine for under $200. Has a tripod mount as well as the sticky ones so mounting is pretty flexible. Got mine from

Quality is OK. Exposure can be funny.

Gopro's the best..fuck the rest.
Short enough for you rooster?

I use a contour HD because they don't stick out anywhere near as the GoPro does, good battery life and picture quality. New ones have built in GPS where you've been and how fast

Yeah I would be worried about the evidence issue but can you turn the GPS off for the road and back on to do lap times at the track?

Gopro's are crap.

Super 8 rules the moving picture world....even better if you can get pictures in technicolour

[Kwakked Up]

Am not too technical, is this what you mean Glen?
