Just bought an SJCAM M20 and mounted it on the Silver wing mirror stem, great camera for anybody looking for one, I recommend it.

nice footage, especially all that blue sky and sunshine stuff... but did I actually see someone jogging up the road about halfway through? The power of human stupidity is without limit.

Nice looking video yammer !
Tell us more about your camera. Anything you don't like ? eBay has several listed with waterproof cases and without. Can you offer more info on the model of yours? I've been looking for a relatively inexpensive camera like this. Don't want to pay $500 for a Go Pro. Thanks Mike

This is the latest model from SJCAM, a relatively inexpensive product when compared to GOPRO. It has a 2K native resolution and pretty small. I like the fact that the lens is in the middle, no big deal but I like symmetry. It has an image stabiliser using a gyro that really works. Batteries are not integrated so extra ones can be purchased. I had just over 90 minutes of footage from one single battery today. For the money I cannot really fault it. I updated to the latest software immediately before I used it so I cannot comment about before and after. It did handle difficult light situations reasonably well. I will post another video entering and coming out of a tunnel.

Can you do a video and do some talking? Would like to see how well it picks up your voice while riding.

I almost got scared that something was wrong with your driving. Then I remembered that you all drive on the wrong side of the road over there.
Sorry, I couldn't help it. Nice footage tho.

Nice couple of videos Yammer. The camera seemed to handle the lower light whilst in the tunnel quite well I thought.
Nice roads by the way - where was all the traffic then?
Nice to see a video shot from the correct side of the road...

The sound would be muffled as it is in the waterproof casing, but I will test it with the open mount provided.

I bought this same camera, no mic extension, but otherwise like Yammer said for the price it's pretty cool. I am looking at this camera also.
I have a Polaroid HD Professional action camera xs 100 extreme edition that I am willing to sell .I used it for a 20 minutes video, I did not know how to erase the video from the sym card . ( not good with computer) and will sell complete for $140.00 plus shipping. PM me for more info.
