Cheaper gopro alternative?

[Sleeper_Avant]

I am looking to do some filming of the S4 and restoration of the Sapphire,

Cheap 1080p gopro alternative cameras are as cheap as £30!

Just needs suction cup mounts etc.

Any advice or personal experience?

I am not a techie person or a brand snob

Nice picture and sound is all I ask

Cheers, Sean

I have the previous version of this, the non 4K one and it's brilliant VFM

Came with all the mounts and a waterproof case

Lovely, I was looking at the cheaper ones and read good reviews etc, just thaught I'd ask some real people

Best bang for the buck is problably the first Xiaomi Yi. Has sony sensor and ambarella chipset. If have little more money then buy Yi 4K.
Many other cheap chinese action cams have crappy sensor and crappy meditek chipsets.

Some sample clips made with my xiaomi yi, download videos to your computer to view in original quality.

Yes
I also am interested in alternative. Gopro are pretty expensive

Have been using a SJ4000 for many years, quite nice quality. Most of my youtube vids are taken with it, YT nick Maxxifull.

I've got an SJ4000 too. They're not as good as the GoPro, but considering they're only $50,- on aliexpress the quality is pretty good.

Must be sure it's 1080p version, most copies on ebay are only 720p.

I got the 1080p SJ4000 as well

[Sleeper_Avant]

i think I will order a cheap one and see how I get on,

Cheers

SJ4000 is the one I have, worth £30 all day long

[AndyP]

Mine came with a suction cup, but yes they're a universal thread.
