What do you guys think? Looks like it has some good reviews and its much cheaper than a GoPro.

A friend of mine has one of them. He loves it but I think he got his for around $40. You might be able to find it cheaper than Amazon but he did a side by side test with his and another persons go pro and the video quality was nearly identical. So if you want to get one I would say do it.

I personally don't like the go pro. You have to do quite a bit of post production work to get your videos to look anything like what their advertisements show.



You should look at the Sony action came. I have the HDR-AS15 and love it! Built in wifi allows me to view images and live video directly to my phone so I can set up shots before I record. Also, I've never needed any post production. Videos are always smooth and clear with good colors.



Should be able to pick one up now for under 149.
