I bought a 'cheap' bullet type helmet camera off ebay and I guess you get what you pay for to some extent.
Boasts waterproof to 30m so thought it would be ok for diving etc.
Problem I have is that it seems to record in about 10min clips instead of full length. So a 1hr recording will be split into 6 or 7 separate clips.
Is there any reason for this other than how the camera is ? Guessing a Go-pro doesn't have this issue !
Probably be full of water when I come up aswell rolleyes

Bear in mind the 30m relates to static water pressure at 30m. As soon as you start pushing it through the water the pressure increases.

Thanks folks,
Ive had a look in the 'brief' instructions and doesn't seem to be any way of altering the recording slot length so I guess it is what it is !
I'm some what sceptical about 30m waterproof but im going to give it a go and if it comes up full then it can go back. It only cost £50 anyway !
The test will be if I can post any pics on here smile

Hi Ray, Happy new year to you. Hope all is well.
