I always use the 808 spy cameras hd size of a car remote. Just bought a 16. Great quality and easy to dispose should mr plod stop you!......just bough a moto gp look pod for it which I stick to the back of the bike and swing the camera to where I want it. The camera is also small enough to fix to the front mudguard etc....

Just an idea if you want couldn't upload latest vid with one.

I'll +1 Bossy's 808 recommendation
I've had a v1 808 #16 (720p h.264 with 16GB MicroSD) for a while now and can confirm that for the money {~£40 inc. additional external battery) you'll be hard pushed to find one of equal quality. There are upgrades available and an online community driving things forward. www.chucklohr.com/

"eletoponline365" is the ePay user I used and although there was a slow-boat-from-China delivery the product was good and not cheap looking/feeling tat.

Note: there now appears to be a full 1080p version which, although doesn't take photo's, looks like another super compact AV solution.

A bit of utub blurb for info

what pod is there for the 808??

I have the 1080 one and its fantastic - but some sort of mounting pod would be great.

dont buy the 120 degree FOV one - its too wide - the 80 is better.

This is the one I bought. Use sticky pads to attach to rear....what's good is you can remove camera easy the click back into mount when needed.

Got to try the side helmet mount yet...next ride I think

To be honest I have been considering the go pro etc but ended up with another 808 16 version as they are not so obvious on the bike etc...have one front facing and one rear then I edit on pv so you get he clear rear camera soundcandcswitch front video to rear.....can't fault them appart from. 50 min recording battery time

does that include a mount for the camera?

the ebay listing has a bracket and straps, but says nothing about attaching the camera to the mount.

I think so but this is the better option and the one I got. only just listed as I could not find it the other day. cheaper but takes ages to arrive 7 weeks!...worth the wait
