Just browsing for general bolt on tat and saw this..

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HD-1080P-8MP-Waterproof-POV-3oz-Action-Camera-LCD-Built-In-8GB-Micro-SD-Card-/321001020978?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_Video_Camcorders&hash=item4abd26de32&_uhb=1#ht_1805wt_1397

Obviously, one doubts its quality. But might stick a bid in and see what its like Thinking

I bought a cheap key ring camera from china which wasn't to bad. A little flimsy but one pays for what one gets really.

Check out www.techmoan.com. He has reviews of pretty much most of the Chinese cameras. Worth a look before you buy something that turns out to be rubbish.

I've just bought https://www.techmoan.com/blog/2012/7/5/a-1080p-wired-bullet-cam.html based on his review and the comments from other people.

Seller appears to have hidden their feedback totals. Plenty of neutrals and negatives in there though. Thinking

I just bought the cheapest MD80 clone I could find, tucked it into the chin lining, it's not fallen apart yet.

Heard alot of complaints about the cheap MD80 clones falling apart but I've decided to throw £8.50 at it. We'll see how long it lasts Confused

Not sure where about to fit it though, I guess blue-tacking it to the top of my helmet won't last too long.

them £10 md80 copies are ok, tried one today on the bike. Lens is a bit screw wiff but does a ok job.

Went for £51 in the end Shocked

Which, yknow, given the supposed spec, would still be reasonable if it actually hung together physically and electronically. 1080p, waterproof, built in mount, takes 32GB cards, all that.

Somehow I have a feeling it's about as reliable as the £10 ones though Very Happy
