Cheap Mini DV cameras off ebay?? Any good?

Lofty2

I've just bought one of those miniDV cameras off ebay for bike use and an amazing £7.44 delivered (from china!) It looks like this......



Anyone else bought one of these and had any success getting some bike action footage?

I'd like to mount on my helmet ideal so the picture is pretty smooth, i see it come with a few clips but I'm not sure any of them will suit mounting to a helmet?

Any suggestions / opinions whether good or bad welcomed!!

yeah they're good for the money. Similar performance to the veho muvi. There was a MASSIVE thread about these a while back, half the forum have them now, including me

There is a huuuuuuuugeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thread on these already somewhere.

All the videos in my sig link were taken on one of them,

Is it brilliant quality? No, not really.

Is it brilliant quality for £7? Good GOD yes!

Would I buy another? Yup


They don't like low light, so if you're deep in the woods, the footage might be a bit poo. They're not brilliant with heavy vibration either, so choose mounting points very carefully.

Don't chagre for more than 2-3 hours like I have, which is why I'm on number 3 :oops: The latest is a nice anodised red colour.
