    Is this the video camera you have got http://www.sport-cam.co.uk/mini%20hd2.asp?cat=148 £100. The sample video on the website doesn’t look too bad, a bit wobble (the video looks like it been stretched then squashed). I think this is the same camera on ebay ‘act20 model’ for £45ish. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACT20-HD-720P ... 45fd6a429d You could get a lot worse but you could also get lot lot better eg go pro cam http://gopro.com/ .

    I think the 7dayshop £15 camera http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product ... _id=110355 is a ‘DVR D011 model’ IMO it’s a little bit worse than the act20 but not by much.

    If one of these are the camera you have just search for act20 or DVR D011 on you tube to see some sample videos
    hope this helps

    The quality looks good enough to film home video of some awesome jumps & downhill sessions etc :D and also the big wipe-outs :oops: to show to your friends, family and forum members
