Awesome!! Thanks mate. That was one of the ones in my basket anyway based purely on reviews + cost. Good to get anecdotal experience.

I've got a 32gb speed 10 and its fine, gives 4.5 hours of 1080p video. Oh and order a couple of spare batteries and charger as the battery only lasts a few hours fully charged.
Does the xiaomi yi have the car mode thingy?I have a SJ400 WIFI cam and I can say for the price it's outstanding quality. I have had mine for over a year and a half with a 32GB SanDisk Card and it's never missed a beat, has lived in my car mounted to my windscreen.
You can also put the camera into " Car Mode " which will automatically record when the ignition is turned on if it's connected via a usb cable to a USB Cigarette Lighter.
FYI @banther - When/if you purchase one of these cameras in the menu go to "Cyclic Record" and turn if off otherwise it will record 3 minute videos into separate video files.
A screenshot of a video I recorded that was downloaded directly from the Camera to my iPhone over Wi-Fi.
There is a link here with a YouTube video showing the camera connected to an Android Device.
A 32gb (class 10) card gives around 4.5 hours of recording at 1080, also the batteries only last around 1.5 hours so having it plugged in would be your best bet doing that long of a stint. The SJ4000 comes with loads of different holders for internal mounting but I went with the below and its very sturdy, but I'd be getting a proven gopro mount for the exterior of the car. Link also to additional batteries and charger.
MSV aren't to bothered, Javelin are. Cant really feel the weight no, I've just ordered the bits from eBay for £10 to mount via the headrest see below...
Could you post some links please? I'd like to do this in mine.
No mate, its not a bad view but the headrest option is better.
Doesn't look like it mate, the genuine ones have SJCAM on the front, see below on the one I purchased. The price is a give away as well...
I bought the previous non-wifi model to this may be two years ago to permanently mount in the car, I recognise the boxing, it's been faultless. (My opinion) All of these cameras are probably off of the same production line anyway, just branded for each batch order. If the software version and menus could be compared side by side I wouldn't be surprised if they're identical. Happy to be corrected of course by someone in the know/distributor of these.
Just go one the official website, its incredibly hard to weed out the fakes on eBay etc.
I had mine mounted in a similar place before I got the roll cage, but due to the arm we got some serious rattle through the mic. Though now you can't see me you have a better view of what is infront of the car and conditions.
Yeah think I will go back to the windscreen view at Aintree in a few weeks as you can actually see all the track.
Do you have a photo of where your camera is mounting on the cage?
It's that one of those ~£5 clamps off of eBay mounted on a 38mm bar/cage? How much does it wrap around the bar, doesn't look much on the facing side? ...Leads me to ask how rigid the clamp is when fastened?
