Blimey! Looks like a bargain at that price 
or for a few quid more you can get it with an 8Gb sd
card
I like the fact that it is designed to be continuously overwriting the old files so you can use it to record every journey and in the event of a
mishap you will always have video evidence of your actions prior to the mishap ..... as long as it doesn't coincide with the 2 second
'changeover' delay between files 
Either way I have ordered one - looks quite sturdy and much less fragile than the usual cheapies.

I have got the 8gig one its very good but it breaks the video into separate files all 5mins each its not the end of the world as you can stitch them
back together using video editing software like virtualdubmod.

Tempting...
I wonder how steady that suction mount is - it looks a bit flimsy. Probably flap about a bit when stuck to the screen of my Locost!
But, when you add up the cost of an 8GB microSD card, and a car lighter socket USB power supply, you can easily exceed £20... assuming that the
quality is reasonable.
I've bought other stuff from 7dayshop - a good supplier, but many items are absolutely China's best quality. Make of that statement what
you will.

And, in case you didn't already know, over zealous cops are handing out fines and points for obstructed vision for sat navs stuck to the
windscreen in the swept area. Be warned, central gov are after your cash!

My one arrived this morning - very impressed with the build quality
One little tip - don't spend ages trying to read the really tiny instruction leaflet. The instructions (in Chinglish) are on the driver disc in
a Word doc.
However the drivers don't want to talk to my 64bit pooter. Maybe my netbook will have better luck.

There are 64bit drivers on the page just above the video
here
Took me an hour to figure out how to set the time, DON'T turn the camera ON at the base until AFTER you have placed the TAG.TXT file on the SD
card and unplugged the USB cable,and if you switch off at the base you have to do it all over again
Good camera though, amazing for £14.

Ordered one myself and discarded the instructions as next to useless. The vid review on 7dayshop told me all I needed to know.
Only bad thing so far is the bike clip broke one of the release prongs the first time I tried to slip the upper half out off the handle bar grip. Be
wary of that.

Actually those drivers have been superceded by V2.02.004 (I Googled to find them on a drivers website) and they installed fine. The TAG thing nearly
got me, but I managed to figure it out.
