I suggest you stick to the seller, eletoponline365, who by all accounts including Techmoan and from the RC forums seems to be the actual manufacturer/legit seller.jules21 wrote:no idea! would gratefully receive advice
Seems to only now have the #16.

Oregon Scientific have the ATC Chameleon on the market so it is not a new idea.JBark wrote:Now that's creepy. Just the other day I was chatting with my wife about how nice it would be to have a dual front/rear facing camera on my helmet, both attached by some sort of hinge so you could adjust them. Also envisioned something that was quite flat.
Basically, exactly what that guy designed, almost to a T. Literally the only difference was that mine didn't stick up so high on the mount, was more flush with the helmet. How did this guy get inside my brain?

On the other hand, it will mount well, take great footage and be heaps of fun. 3 new models to choose from. The gopro website will tell you the differences (I'd list them but would run the risk of a tl;dr )

There are a few sellers that do genuine 808's, haven't heard of that seller though.Aushiker wrote:Is that the legit seller of these cameras. Not the one I have used and seen referenced elsewhere?

One of these just turned up for me today:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/320999212178 ... 952wt_1102" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Its a #11 but an improved #11. Seems better built than my original #11. Gave it a quick test inside (at night with indoor lights) and it seemed ok, yet to ride with it obviously.

Hopefully the video quality is similar or superior (not that the chinese one does a bad job), you can alter the video length & the video quality, plus it has infrared LED's for low light use. Have to wait until winter to see how that goes.
I post links to the ride video's every Sunday, so if anyone is interested to see the difference between a $100 chinese & a (nearly) $100 German camera you should be able to see on Sunday.

I had exactly the same thing happen with the GoPro handlebar mount as Norbs did yesterday, snapped in exactly the same spot. Except my camera is okay and the housing seems fine. I have submitted a request to their support to see if they will replace the extension bar. It was a fairly rough trail but I would have thought it would have managed it.norbs wrote:Just a word of thanks to GoPro here...

Good service.
Norbs was yours the longer of the two extension bars that come with the handlebar kit?
The video: Short version followed by a longer version. I think one side snapped (1:05?) first because the video became increasingly choppy towards the point where it failed completely.

Eager to see how it goes!AUbicycles wrote:Sony Action Camera for review on BNA has just come though - just charging and will have a good look and report. Have to download an app where I can view on my phone - and have asked for the bike specific mount though it was suggested that the current system is compatible with GoPro adhesive mounts.

Seems the conclusion pro's for Sony Action Cam is steadyshot is great if not interested in post processing and using a better wifi interface than the GoPro.
Con's for the Sony Action Cam are not as good video specs, narrower 120 angle for the drawcard steadyshot mode itself, no audio in high fps modes.
If action cameras become for me like bikes are N+1 (at 0 cams right now) then I could see 1st gen Sony, HD Hero 3, and next gen Sony as a happy family within 12 months. I just need to do something more interesting than commuting to be worth the cost/bother of recording =P

For me, the camera is insurance first and foremost.
The vast majority of my stuff though isn't that interesting although I do have some fun with what I do get

This is the 1920x1080 video - some of the compression is in Vimeo though you can still get an idea of differences between the mounted camera and the stationary camera. It was a very bright day so a lot of contrasts which were handled quite well. Coming up is a GoPro Hero 2 / Sony Action Cam spilt video. Sure there is more to tell, but you will have to wait for the review:
54751061
The big version is probably better to give you an idea.
1080p HD Version of the Sony Action Cam video
As a camera review it isn't as captivating as a Quentin Tarantino, though John Hawkins worked hard on his skills while I manned the camera - but you can spot me riding in front for the handlebar mounted shots.

Both scaled to 500 pixels across for display here. You can see how much more detail is in the original footage.
Handlebar (or moving) footage suffers from vibration as you will see - but that is a trial and error with any camera so look forward to matching the GoPro Hero2 and Sony Action Cam footage.

Does this sound like a setting I can change or a dodgy battery?

If its exactly 20 minutes sounds like a setting.malnar wrote:I've got a jumbo #16 that I bought from eletoponline365 & it stops recording after about 20 min/1 gig. I've also got a jumbo #11 which creates a new file every 20 min but the #16 stops recording altogether. When I recharge the batt on the #16 it's good for another 20 min or so.

This one is a different shell to the first three released, but I believe it is the real thing (not a copy) as it's being sold by one of eletoponline's identified subsidiaries (identified by techmoan).
For those playing along at home: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newest-Jumbo- ... 337d9b1db4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
And if anyone is interested, Techmoan also has a number of thorough reviews and general information on the 808 series:

(Posted similar info in the moron motorists thread but thought it may be useful to post in here too.)

I was a little unhappy about only getting 3 hours from my kaiser baas, I now don't feel so bad & I'm so happy I didn't buy the much dearer goPro.
