No idea if any good. It appears well screwed-together but haven't had chance to try it out yet. I figure it can't possibly be worse than my old Hero2. For 40 sheets I'm willing to risk it.

I'd guess it can! I'd be going for a recommendation.

There's a load of go-pro shaped knock offs from anywhere that sells cheap Chinese electronics. You can get ones with a better feature list for a similar price.

But it's entirely possible for a camera to look like crap regardless of the number of pixels in the video it outputs. I have a "HD" dash cam you could barely read a number plate on.

They are 20 quid at Aldi, and 10 quid or so on ebay and China based sites like gearbest etc!

720p at 30 FPS is going to be ‘ok’ but a bit underwhelming especially for action sports.

They look very much like the [url= https://www.kitvision.co.uk/products ]Kitvision[/url] range they used to sell.

£40 for a 720 camera of unknown quality isn't an amazing deal. As said plenty of 1080 versions can be found cheaper.

This wowcher link claims £12.99 , which seems pretty good. No idea if it'll be £30postage or something though.
