Looking to get a new camera, dropped the Go pro from about 10 meters and its now history.
Ive been looking on ebay and was wondering if any of those cheap cameras are any good

Hello,

I've been using a cheap one off eBay for a few months now and have not had any problems with it.

I found out quite quickly my gopro bounces quite well as I'm always dropping the bluming thing.

It came off the pole and fell about 15 foot onto concreate and it still worked. Mind you I do have a silicone boot/cover on the outer case so that might of helped with the impact?

This is the type of cover I bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soft-Rubber-Silicone-Protective-Camera-Housing-Case-Cover-For-GoPro-Hero4-3-New-/222183083060?hash=item33bb24cc34:g:la0AAOSwRgJXg0-o

Hi Nick
Which one?

[Smurf]

Any of the cheap sj4000 wifi type cameras sold on fleebay would do surely?

A chap I know uses a sjcam sj4000 clone that seems good enough for the job. Not sure if gopro batteries will fit it though so best to order some extra batteries and battery charger just incase.

We use the Goldfox cameras, there's several sellers on EBay and have got on fine with them.

I did mention I'm rather fond of pink    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Goldfox-J4000-WIFI-1080P-2-HD-Mini-Sport-DV-Camera-Helmet-Bike-Camcorder-Cam-UK-/222211382548?hash=item33bcd49d14:g:2psAAOSwnNBXY81J

Hi,
