Just bought a redicupusly big cheapish torque wrench (mechainc noob boxedin) but I really should have added a few extra quid for one of these sets.

Find a mate with a trade card. Dirt cheap then.
I've applied for a trade card, I thought it was just the automotive industry but it includes loads, engineering, construction, taxi drivers. Worth a stab at it.

Pissed off - I just bought one of these cameras for £35 quid as that is dead cheap. Now £30 for the black one! Not even unboxed mine yet mad

Gopro knock-off with loads of accessories, Good reviews, DBPOWER EX5000:

Cheap that is, looks the same as my SJ4000 which is a good budget camera, can't go wrong for £24, as long as you don't ride around with it stuck to your bloody helmet.

If it's like my sj4000 it'll be st. Barely work. A bding to get the battery out and never records when you crash.

That said it's a good picture for the st sessions it end up recording that you don't want to watch.

It's coming up as £29.99 on my screen, they must have raised the price back up?

well I've managed to use a combination of the attachments to stick it on the mirror stalk. I will test it later and see if there's any vibration etc. It's not perfect. Apparently you can lightly modify gopro mounts to work so will see how this goes and then get something a bit better.

Reason I'm doing it is cos I quite enjoy seeing biker clips on youtube idiotdrivers etc so if anything interesting happens I'll submit it.

Too much vibration. It look like vibration is a common problem on motorbikes hence they need to be helmet or body mounted. I've ordered a cheap GoPro chest mount off ebay to try.

Use a sticky pad and fix it to the fairing, there will be less vibration than on the mirrors, also it helps if you rough up the edges of the mounts where they join together to stop it moving around.

Bargain Zumo motorbike satnav



Was/is £280 elsewhere

£129 at Aldi, Bargain, a better solution than faffing about with different mobile cases on the bike.

With a fixed lead and all the bracketry you'll need
