Default Action cams...

OMO...help me navigate the action cam quagmire please!

Son wants an action cam for Crimbo...

The go-pro hero5 black is too much at 399 or whatever.

Halfords are flogging off the hero session at 139 and the hero5 session at 249.

Veho muvi k2 oo6 is about 124.99 whilst the 007 is 139.99

They all seem much of a muchness to my untrained eye. I understand that the muvi 007 has an upgraded chipset and I would be happy to get that...but then surely I should go for the hero sessions from Halfords?

What does one cam do that the other doesn't?

What the boy would like to do is a bit of action cam whilst he's on his bike, and also use it occasionally as a webcam on a tripod etc. He likes his youtube. Trouble is once you start looking around it's like opening a can of worms!

drop a sneeky and ask him which one he thinks he would like or get one of his mates to do it and report back to you.

1st one - my old Garmin Virbe, bear in mind youtube compression kills most uploads

My current SJcam 4000, TBH I can't see much difference and its only £58, its lighter and the mount is a bit more rigid than the Virb

Blimey! At 58 quid the kids could have one each! Cant see anything wrong with any of those. we're seeking functionality rather than perfection.

Yep. Just make sure it's a genuine sjcam there's a few fakes out there. Which is kinda strange.

Uses the same mount as a gopro so easy to find mounts and other stufg

I'll find the eBay item and post it up

When I did my research I decided to buy UK stock.

If you Google fake Sjcam it's fairly easy to spot a fake from a real one.

At least with UK stock you can return it easily

I like the Drift Stealth 2 because it's small and in a long narrow format so for helmet cams it doesn't stick a mile out from your head. Easily found for £99.

Not such an issue for handlebar mount.
