Aldi had a Gopro lookalikey the other day on their offer sheet. Don't know when it's coming out or if it has wifi. About £70 I think

SJ4000 wifi so can feed to your phone or tablet with the app for live feeds and recordable pics.
Has slot for micro sd card up to 32gb although 16gb enough (you have to purchase sd card seperately) very clear pics
Great bit of kit loads of accessories available to the ones supplied in box.
We have used ours not just gutter cleaning work but has been used as a dash cam and the wife borrowed it to get close ups of our son in the hammer cage at competitions.
Worth getting some extra batteries.
Plenty of utube feeds on sj4000 and what to look out for fakes.
Make sure you get the wifi one as they do a none wifi model.

Hi Darren I probably posted the wrong link above.
Put that one up as people usually go straight to recommending gopro over anything else.
The sj4000 is more than adequate for what you need and a bargain, plus its usuable with any aftermarket gopro style mounts.
techmoans site though has a wealth of information, tests and comparisons. I have the original sj1000 camera ( no wifi ) for snowboarding and mtn biking.
His videos are very good and worth watching to decide if the sj4000 wifi is your thing.
As others have said, look out for the fakes, a genuine sj4000 will also have sj cam stamped on it, techmoans site has links to genuine suppliers.  Avoid the sj5000+ , his reviews regard it as an inferior model with a few technical glitches and poor battery life.

I've got an sj4000 - brilliant bit of kit for the money,.. the video quality is amazing & its 1/2 the price of a gopro. :)

We use an old iphone once you have uploaded the app to wireless the pics through.
