Hey up chaps.

I have been looking at these go pro cameras for my Chimaera and of course there are the cheaper ebay alternatives.

It's an SJ4000 or something, has anyone had any experience with those?

Dunk
Be very careful when buying on eBay! Many fakes flying around and not completely as described! SJCAM are the official SJ4000 makers. I swiftly got my money back and then got a GoPro off the bay. Not cheap in comparison but from reviews and peace of mind I think I won.

£330 from what I can see for a Gopro Black. Not that cheap wobble

Love the colour on yours. When I left school I worked part time in a garage that restored cars and we did a DB4 ( I think) in that colour. Looked amazing.

Nice camera mount too!

ok not sure what you boys call cheap up in the south east but this is the one I purchased and I bought the gopro mic to plug in for better sound.

Hi, Try the SooCoo S60 or S70 they are dedicated underwater action cameras rated to 60 metres so no problem with sound. I have used one down to 20 metres and worked really well.

Not sure if I'm actually allowed to mention this, apologies if not, but my GoPro funnily enough is now for sale in the classifieds after my earlier contribution to the thread. Advert should hopefully be live tomorrow.

Mods - Sorry again if I can't do this.

That's a good view. Where did you mount the gopro and what setting was it on, both resolution and medium/narrow?

Clamped to my rollbar in between the two seats.

The setting was on narrow and the resolution was fairly standard I should imagine .

Thanks... Ive said it before, guys, you should plan a trip and come to Norway, I'll show you around and go on a great drive smile
Would love to, I am very rarely allowed out to play and i doubt if any such pass issued by SWMBO would allow me to leave the UK wink
