It's £80 on ebay, looks good

Although the "Buy cheap, buy twice" motto has served me well when buying things like this in the past.

The GOPRO Black 3 is fine for what you need it to do, if you can get the plus for the same price then buy that. The main important difference is the battery life, (I think it might slightly smaller unit) the rest won't really affect you.

I would just buy a few batteries and Class 10 memory cards and mounts I tend put 32gb as standard the only time I would user larger storage is it was a long take or going in place for a day and I couldn't get it. Why? SD cards fail so I don't want to lose footage and if you do you lose less with smaller cards.

Me too its advertised as the HDR-AS15 , but everyone is getting given the AS30v 's which are worth 40-50 quid more brilliant bit of kit, just hooked it upto my smart phone too.

Very nearly got one of those Sony's but couldn't find a suitable solution to mount on the side of the helmet without forking out more money.

It comes with an adhesive helmet mount in the box

I'm trying to find a way to mount it to the tank, don't really fancy sticking the mount on so looking at something like this.

This is the comparison video I saw, the Sony is much more stable than the go pro
