    i will be looking to recoup the £200 i paid for it and throw the memory cards in for free (not been used and only got them last week).

    Reason i am selling is because i didnt realise the Go Pro 2 was out so i will be upgrading

    From past experience mate I think you might struggle with the length of cable although they might bring out an extension with a waterproof connector later on. I downloaded some raw footage Dogcams sent me, and tbh I was a little disappointed with the 1080 footage, quite jerky although sharp. Think I'll probably stick with my original choice, the POV HD, I really like the 'loop' feature. Horses for courses at the end of the day though.

    I've got the older model 720p.
    It is good. I guess the 1080p version shown in your link will be mighty good.
    The cables aren't a problem. Just get yourself organised and you are away. I normally put the display unit in my inside pocket and run the camera cable and remote out the bottom of my jacket. Just don't forget and walk away from the bike without disconnecting.

    Yeah, got the t-shirt mate lol. The golden rule, either have the cam and unit both on you or both on the bike. I used to put them on the bike, but I now prefer the headcam, footage is more realistic as long as you don't keep moving your head from side to side too much lol.

    first time I used it I put it on my helmet (schoolboy laughs ensue) and I didn't like the way it looked.
    I prefer it on the bike.
    Personal preference only though.
