I can't be bothered with it anymore, I've used it all of 3 times. Works ok, you can put a 8g SD card in it so 2 hours footage on high resolution. I'll just never edit the video so waste of time and I'd rather get some new boots!!

Mine was a latest release from the factory, so it can work of a 8gb card unlike most that can only use a 4gb card.

They sell on trademe for over $400, so if anyone here wants it, they can have it for $350.

Only downfall is that as its made of metal, its a bit heavy, so you have to use a bit of double sided tape to hold the mount down tight.

Big upside is that its got an inbuilt LCD, so you can line it up really easy instead of making a video of the ground or sky!!
