although they've gone up a few quid since that topic was started.

I've just ordered one so expect some examples in the next couple of weeks! Looking forward to strapping it to the front valance for some rumble strip action at Combe in June.

PS: Trackday related I'm doing an airfield day on Monday so we shall see how the lightened flywheel works out on the track.

Well it all turned up today and it's on charge. I can't believe how small it is! It's smaller than a fag lighter by loads. I'm sooo going to lose it!

Might strap it to the Polo and record my journey to work tomorrow and see how it works.

The pics are freakishly clear for something so small

 2-3 of these would make a superb little Vid

defo screwing one into the Paxo

Only downside for vids is it seems you can't turn the time/date stamp off but that doesn't bother me as I only bought it for trackday usage and I want the stamp so I can get laptimes.
