Cheaper GoPro style thing.....

[Ray Singh]

My children would like a Go Pro camera to capture everyday life, attach to bikes/scooter etc. Just general use really.

I had a looked at prices and was a little shocked. Can anyone reccomend a cheaper alternative to the GoPro?

Thanks

I have one of these shop around you can get them cheaper and are a good camera.

Mobius cameras are brilliant and only the size of a tick tack box. I bought 4 for my vehicles as dash cams but I also use one for recording my race footage. In this footage it was only tie wrapped to the roll cage! For £50 quid or so off ebay you cant fall off!!!!!!!!!

My son also uses Mobius on his RC aircraft and multirotors....

Got my son an SJCAM M10. £45 from eBay.. For the money it's not a bad but of kit.

+1 for the M10
Its the revised SJ4000 model and comes with nearly all the mounts you need.
Can't go wrong at that price.

From what I remember you can only change the settings on that cam in the link via the phone app.
I think that adds an unnecessary complication.

I got a SAFVY SJ4000 - love it. Cost £57 on Amazon.

I also have a bottom of the range gopro (£94) and a Sony hdr as15.

The SJ4000 has a screen meaning you can see what's filmed, the others don't.

I use the SJ as a car cam, works really well! Really good quality!

There are apparently knock off versions of the SJ which aren't as good but mines a gooden!

ETA; came with loads of accessories too!

Have a look at the Xiaomi camera.

Personally, I use a Mobius and it does a good job.

Xiaomi Yi, really good the price and now the latest firmware lets you go to 2K resolution.
