    No idea mate, but if I didn't already own a Drift Ghost HD I'd be all over that offer before it disappears!

    Looks ok for the money, I suppose it'll make a good starter to try before splashing out for a go pro.

    You may well be surprised by the quality - I bought 20 of the tiny 'key ring spy camera' video recorders and sold them to mates - they got some really good footage yet the lens was tiny.
    Ok the resolution was low but it was quite watchable and for the £5 or so they paid was fine.

    Its more important how you mount it for best view / stable image and also wind noise

    At the price its a good deal, that said a used GoPro HD won't be much more on ebay as people trade up and sell the old ones.

    3 year warranty the clincher -

    THe Lidl one has a number of positives over Aldi -

    Full HD
    Fully waterproof, not just 'splashproof'

    Just picked up one of the Lidl ones after watching the review vid, looks like a good bit of kit and its made in Germany not China.

    I've just picked one up tonight and will try and get some footage taken tonight or tomorrow after I come off shift! Doesn't come with a remote which is a shame, but looks well made

    They are 1080p @ 30fps, gopro are 1080p at 60fps I believe but that makes more of a difference when you slow footage down

    Went to buy one today, but sold out near me :mad: but I'm surprised they don't come with the remote.
