    I've seen the footage and it looks good. The cool thing is your smart phone can use the WIFI to see what the camera see's. So if you had the camera on the roof of the car, you could see and activate the camera inside the car with your phone. Not bad for $106 one issue is the battery lasts 1.5 hours so the guys bought extra batteries and a USB charger.

    If it just works just pretty good it's worth 40 bucks.. I thought the kicker was going to be the shipping cost but that is free. I need someone to explain that. A lot of stuff on ebay from Hong Kong, and or China locations are free "epacket" shipping. How is that? That little camera/video device would probably cost me 30-40 bucks to ship to China!!!!

    Let us know how well it works once you get it..

    I read the destruction book last night but couldn't find how to de-Aussie it! So I will have mount it the correct way round. I think my drive to work is far more exciting than the drive to the donut shop! Anyway the rally is this weekend so I hope to have it sorted by then. Cute camera with touch screen.

    the good thing is I didn't use it when I rolled the Mini as I would have blamed the camera as a jinx as the last time I did an in car video in 1992 i rolled the MK2 Escort car! I'm going to do some footage when I get back to CR strapped to my RC helicopter!

    Yes it looks like it, although it say HD maybe that means Half definition? , I think we will use it for recording the recce's.

    Now that one looks like a pretty good knock off of a GoPro. Post some footage if you get some Chris.

    I'm definitely going to look into this. Just off the top of your head, any idea what extra batteries go for or how fast they recharge?
