Lower cost go pro alternative

[BIFCAIDS]

Yeah eBay special, it does the job. The clamp itself doesn't go all the way around but its very secure, I suppose it would be though the clamps FT LOL.

As you can see below it doesn't move and theres an ever so slight rattle but I think thats to do with the frame the camera is in.

Which is the current one to go for? I'm looking at spending between £50&75.
Need it before the 18th so not looking to order from China etc..

Go for the Sjcam Sj4000 for that price, it cant reallt be beaten for the money. Try and buy from amazon if you want it asap, i bought one from a supposed UK seller on ebay and it still turned up a few weeks after the date with a chinese postage label on.

Filming shee...sorry!

If it comes boxed as it should it will come with a decent amount of accessories & mounts to get you started. Check for fitment of the camera in the waterproof case when you get it, I didnt realise until I played back a load of footage id recorded that the camera was moving ever so slightly in the case causing a very annoying rattle. It comes with some stickyback foam stuff that I put around the edge to stop this.

Genuine one yeah

Not low cost at all

But holy s**t a built in 10hz GPS receiver (that's good btw, and a seperate module to do the same would cost about £130)

[malcolmgt]

Genuine one yeah

I'd go for class 10 if you can mate, better write speeds when recording in full res.

 

[car.crash]

Sj5000x elite for a little over £100.
As good as a GoPro 4 black

I've bought fake SJCAM one for about £35 of eBay, very impressed with the video quality, but when i put a video on Windows Media Player that i recorded whilst driving, its impossible to watch, keeps freezing and buffering, and can not fast forward it as it crashes, granted its about 30mins long and about 1GB but plays no problem when viewing it from the Camera its self :S Any ideas?

Have you copied the video over onto the pc or are you trying to play it from the camera via a cable? My Sjcam isn't great for playback from the camera on windows media or the like.

After all that I ended up buying this go pro + lcd from currys special deal 100 quid. Had to go to bloody rotherham to get it tho ha
Nice drive back over snake pass tho

 

[jenic]

Anyone able to let me know if this looks real? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16272085...s=gh1g=I162720851629.N101.S1&autorefresh=true
The box looks different to most I've seen, but some websites have this style box.

 

[imprezaworks]

@Danith knows the differences iirc

I have one I bought for trackdays about 18 months ago, never used the bloody thing lol

 

[Danith]

I did a lot of looking into them, cant remember exactly now as was ages ago!

Believe you can tell by whats printed on the actual camera casing on the front I think. Can't tell from the listing

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I've just bought two SJCams, the box in the listing does look like mine. SJCam have a store on Amazon. I bought mine direct to avoid complications
