FPMSL !!!

Nice one Gav.

TBh the cheap chinese stuff is good enough quality for what most of us need maybe bar a little less wind noise, the Go Pro is a fantastic piece of kit and well worth its money. You only need to see what its used for to realise its worth, the ken block gymkana videos are filmed using one, ive seen them on macau tt bikes and various tv shows so theyre hard to beat. Base your research around bettering one of them and you might be onto a winner...
