Dirt-cheap Action Camera

Postby SteveRST » Fri Sep 20, 2019 4:02 pm

Go-Pro copy for £5.99 - https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/car-technology-accessories/sat-nav-gps/dashcams/?549982150&0&cc5_784

I've taken a punt on it.

Not expecting much, but can mount it somewhere really stupid and if it breaks or gets damaged it doesn't matter :lol:

That's quite remarkable. Even if it's a few models behind the current jazzy ones it will be good. I've a GoPro 4, 5 and 6 and the 4 still puts out reasonable pictures.

Or you take them out on a low branch :oops: and kiss goodbye to several hundred.

I have seen reviews on those cams, they’re comparing stuff x5-x10 the price so it will be interesting to see what you think.

Yeah, while I can't possibly see how they could afford to sell it for just £6, that doesn't change the fact that the camera quality is sh1t.

Clear case seems excellent!
Loads of accessories including handlebar mount, velcro mount etc.,
But camera video quality is just too poor to consider using it for anything much.

If you're looking for a cheap GoPro copy then this it too cheap. Better spending £40 on something off Amazon.

Is the case and accessories usable with another (better) camera?

Accessories would be but I'm not sure about the case... doubtful though.
