ACT20 Camera

[crazymotorbik...]

Hey,
I've been searching for a low cost (Under 60 quid), reasonable quality helmet camera.

After lots of trawling i've settled on this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/All-Metal-HD-720P-Helmet-Camera-Sports-Waterproof-DVR-ACT20-w-Car-Charger-Holder-/141001488961?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_Video_Camcorders&hash=item20d457fa41

Yer not the greatest quality but surely would be evidence enough if some nobber knocks you off?

Quick video here:

The added bonus is it comes with a suction mount for the car so can be used when driving also.

Before i commit my self to buy what do you guys recon? Anything better at the same price?

Cheers,
Shaun R.

Been looking at these recently

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mobius-ActionCam-Full-HD-Sports-Camera-1080P-30FPS-720P-60FPS-Pocket-Camcorder-/151071891306?pt=Camcorders_Professional_Video_Cameras&hash=item232c961f6a

Some pretty good results

Not sure...too many of these to choose from!

I wouldn't buy electronics from abroad unless it was at a significant discount. Given the high chance of getting a brick, and the return postage costs, I consider DSR protection on a UK sale as well worth it.

This very thorough fellow recommends the Mobius but it's not waterproof. Contour Roam 2 is his helmet camera of choice.

Here's his review of the ACT20, which looks to be strictly mediocre and essentially useless at night. See also the ACT30 and ACT35 dildocams.

The search for a good + cheap + reliable helmet camera continues, I think.
