I've never owned such a camera and while I always have been interested in the Go Pro, I can't justify the price. Does anyone have experience with these or similar, cheaper products?
Tech specs compare to a bottom of the line GoPro White edition, which goes for $199. $30 savings for a no name brand of something like that? No thanks.
Get a Contour. They went out of business and can be got for really very little. There is basically nothing to choose between the two. The Countour is actually better in my opinion because you can side-mount it - i.e., strap it onto your goggle strap beside your helmet rather than having it on top.
