the 2k is a piece of class. a bomb proof video camera for under £100 quid which is equal to my new £250 vid cam. the 3k can only get better.

I was interested in that, but all the videos I've seen from it seem to suffer from really terrible tearing under high motion - which is the norm for biking!

For value for money the ATC-2K can't be beat but the video quality is appalling, it's a jerky frame rate with a low resolution picture making most video's unwatchable when used for MTB recording.

I use a setup from http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/ and whilst it does cost a bit more the quality makes the higher spend worth it.


It really comes down to what you want to use the footage for. If you plan to show other people then video from the ATC-2K may not be the device you want.
