Video Alternative

If you guys are like me video taping cruises, auto-x and such is an interesting concept but $250 for a GoPro just doesn't seem worth it. There is another product I picked up Friday night, low light conditions it did ok but not great but daylight seems just fine (I can post the low light taping if anyone would like)

Here is a link to the manufacture, note I've found places that carry for $20 less

click here

here is a photo for size referance, I don't have "big" hands



and here is a video shot today shortened and raw
oh skip ahead about 30 seconds didn't realize the effect lasted so long

I should have mentioned I beleive the vibration was due to the length of the mount that was purchased seperately

Heres my video solution for under $30.00 with the memory. I used some velcro squares so it can
mount under my drivers mirror (mitty video shot from there), on top of my rear view mirror and
other places. Works great and is really small. Doesn't pick up audio real well but thats the only
downside with these.

I bought a mount with my galaxy S2 and it records great 1080p and tons of memory with a 32gb card and storage capacity. Mount it on my windshield where the mirror used to be. I have a video of it but I'm not near my computer . I wouldn't mount it outside thought.. I'm not that brave

Where did you find it for $20? The lowest I found was around $75.
