Do many people here use gopro's or similar cameras? I have seen some great footage and really fancy one, but am a bit clueless as to what's out there and what mounts are needed etc?

I've found a few threads but all were a couple of years old. Is it possible to get a half decent setup for a modest budget?

Thanks for the great replies, the Gopro in Argos looks a good deal, but it does look like a great big lump and a screen would be a bonus. I would ideally only be looking to spend up to £200 with mounts etc.

Would this be the Drift to go for, I have a power socket on the bike so it might be a worthwhile bundle?

£207 with discount I can probably justify.

Is it worth the extra money going for a 1080 over a 720?

ETA

I like the look of this one too:

Would both of these come with all the mounts I would need?

I think i am getting an idea now of each cameras plus and minus points. I think the things I would like are a bullet camera shape so its a bit more discreet, a mount for helmet and fairing / tank (would a suction be ok for all of these?) and a 12v charger so i can have it plugged in for the car or Multistrada scratchchin

If that Drift bundle will do all of that i think i will order that one up as they seem to get good reviews across the board smile
