You can get these bare ( no SD card) for £12.99 delivered, the video looks ok i might have a go at this.

How does that help you dial in your cam timing on an A series?

Anyone actually used one that can comment on how good / bad they are?

Picture quality is OK on laptop.. Mine has a habit of switching itself off though. Can't really complain at the price..

I was considering this, but as siz and weight isnt a huge issue (not putting it on anything remote controlled)

However i stumbled upon this review,

Youtube



So watched a few more reviews and mainly video footage, found this one, not the best footage but seemed to be of a better quality,

Youtube

and so i nearlly doubled my budget to a crrrrrrrrrazzy £35.

My bro had one of these (well looks very similar) and it tended to be seceptable to vibration causing interferance in the picture quality.

I have one and have used it both in the race car and on the MNR:

The problem with using it on the MNR is trying to blank the wind noise out, I have put 2/3 layers of tape over the mic area and it still gets bad wind noise

I've got one of the ebay Chinese ones which are the same shape but have plastic body and slightly different buttons. Quality of recording is OK, though I think I need a higher speed/spec card, noise is OK, and I have tried two mounting points: one with a bracket fixed onto the roll bar with an exhaust clamp (good position but a pain to switch on and off because you need to get out of the car) and the other on a little metal tab fixed onto one of the bolts holding the dash on (slightly low to the bonnet but much more accessible). On both of these brackets I used the fixing which is a spring loaded clip, but then put a thick elastic band doubled or tripled round it to hold it in place. No problems with vibration
