    Want a good quality action camera but not too keen on paying the big money for GoPro, Drift etc.
    Has anyone got experience of the SJ4000, Mobius or Contour Roam?
    I've looked at the reviews and they all seem to do a good job for a lot less than the big names.
    Cheers guys

    a good second hand Go pro or Drift...... the early ones are just perfect unless you want the additions of latest spec......

    the GoPro with viewing from your mobile, wifi remote etc. really is very good, you are buying into a VERY well established system, with new mounts being added all the time by 3rd party folk - and also the size has reduced of the camera now by a fair bit.

    Drift shape / quality is good - but editing is where you really turn 'footage' into something really epic / watchable - I think most folk have a watch time / boredom threshold of around 2 mins of raw footage
