i know a few bods with this camera and never heard any complaints. Shop around though as there are some good deals on at the mo. What are you doing the Mega on?

Cant go wrong with a go pro, contour or drift mate - they all have pros and cons

contour - best design - only head mount
gopro - best footage - loads of mount's - ugly and prone to catching stuff
drift - footage as good as go pro - only head mount - big

id lend you my 720 contour mate but i think it needs a new battery as was misbehaving at triscombe

Thanks Jon - a good summary

Damo - think I will go with that if they can deliver in time. Re bike - I have invested in significantly pimping up my Nomad - it flew pretty well at FOD so looking forward to it.

Awesome - Looking forward to watching you take out Remy Absalon with a 2 wheel drift in the first corner.

Chest mounts give some good shots mate and good sensation of speed http://vimeo.com/8790974

Ttry cycle surgery in romford or milton keynes, thats where i got mine from

Another problem with the go pro, is it struggles to pick up the best quality footage in foggy, overcast weather.

They all do mate - its an issue with having such compact sensors

Also just picked up a GoPro today

Does anyone know what standard/class of SD card is best to go for - does it make much difference?

Good luck with the Mega Nige, look forward to the vid

Tapatalk puts that as a sig unless you switch it off on the application in your phone - just go into settings and turn it off there
