Hi, my name is moanthebairns, I’m looking for the cheapest bestest camera out there as I’m a tight and not really bothered about filming too much.

Preferably one that doesn’t die after 5 minutes of filming though.

It doesn’t have to be hd but I’d prefer if the videos didn’t look like something off crimewatch.

ideally if I could strap it onto my bike without it falling off that would be great don’t know about a helmet one I don’t think I could master the complexities of securing it to my lid.

Recommendations?

In no, I won’t be loaning it to my Dad……

it would appear our definitions of dirt cheap are differ somewhat.

I was thinking eh like £30 or £40.

Its just for the odd Sunday, not for everyday use.

I hate gadgets and would probably be bored of it after using it a few times so dont want to spends loads.

Just use duct tape to attach it to your helmet/tank/whatever.

someone once posted a clip they shot on like a £30 or £40 camera.

And to be honest the quality was great.

Cant remember what the hell it was called though

Take a shot of mine then...

If you feel the footage is boring etc...it's saved you buying one smile

I bought mine purely cos it was a good deal at the time.
Only used it once..

I might do that.

I'm not one for technology, I have an I phone and all I use it for is pistonheads and football scores.

I normally get bored of things like this very quickly.
