Clipped the camera to the central sunvisor above the rear view mirror so added to the fact it's very dark it's also peering through my horribly dirty windscreen.

Not to bad, will have a play on the way to work tomorrow in daylight (I'll clean that bit of screen) and upload it tomorrow night.

i like that... i'd have it there just as a security device that I could switch on when I needed

I like the fact it has sound too - be good for snowboarding etc

Well did a test in daylight (well dull and peeing with rain) on the way to work this morning and it's pretty darn good! Can't edit it for youtube at work but will do it tonight.

Only thing is the mic on mine seems to be broken as the sound level it records is really really low. Not sure whether I can be bothered to send it back though.

Trip to work this morning. Lost a bit of quality in converting it to get it up to youtube but well happy for the money.

Roll on sunday when I'm gonna strap it to the front bumper of the Golf and go for a razz!

Looks top for the money Nick!  I've just ordered one myself, £11.79 from Hong Kong!  :shocked:

Which memory cards did you buy mate?
