    Was thinking about shooting some footage whilst riding the scoot with a mate soon.
    What are others on here using?  Everyone pumps up Go Pros tyres but thought there may have been options that are just as good.
    Go pro have quite a few models too, anyone know much about them and can offer advise ??

    Certainly looks ok to me Wholehog, thanks for the feedback.  If i can buy an earlier model and be happy with it I cant see the point in buying the latest and greatest.

    Get a cheapy one to play with first...really pretty simple to fly as
    Long as u don’t send it to far interference from power lines and the like can hinder the signal.

    Mate, look up SJCAM. 
    You can get them out of China from websites like Banggood and DHGate. 

    They are ripped off originally from GoPro's but are much better priced, their bits and bobs fit GoPro and vice versa and their models use proper lens from big names like Sony. If you look up reviews of them, I reckon you'd think they are worth a shot. Mine is still going strong.
