so, the question came up in the office today. What action camera's do you use to take video's of your 4x4 routes and trips. Not talking about handheld camera's, but the tough ones you can mount on the vehicle to shoot some video as you go along?
Does anybody actually use those camera's?

I've got two tiiiny little video cameras (about the size of your thumb) that you sommer Prestik to a surface. Cost me R250 each excluding the memory cards
Here's a sample video I made at last year's Krugersdorp Hillclimb:

GoPro and Oregon Scientific Camera are the ones I have had a look at....

It all depends on how much money you are willing to part with.

Re: Action Camera
Not bad for a R250 mini cam! 
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Action Camera
I just use my old Sony Ericsson cellphone with a video camera... It has an 8Gb card in it so I can take quite a bit of video with it... I want to buy one of these generic sucker jobs to mount it properly on the dashboard or even on the outside of the front window.

It's quite good for the price huh? :DCasKru wrote:Andre.... where did you buy those R250 jobies?
I bought it from a guy named Anton. I've lost his number since, but he works at that hospital in Benoni CBD (I'm terrible at names
)Want me to try get his details?
