lakeside1000 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 hi all, just thinking of getting a head or gun mount camera for doing shooting vids, what is the best camera in the 'buy it out of your pension ' range, in other words cheap but good with sound.

Jesse James Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Had two of the chilli cameras and both went back due to faults, would never have one of them again . That's just my bad experience with them , have heard others with similar issues on here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Perhaps thats why?) and its working fine at the moment but thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F12_TCR Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 GoPro 3 black edition can't fault them and they are hardy so can take a few knocks and drops and they are 100% water proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse James Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 The issue buddy seems to be the push down button, they lock up or simply don't work after a few days of use . Both mine had the same issue. Good luck mate hope it works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep an eye on it and if it ends up in the bin I will follow your advise and get a Contour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philm Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I have a Contour Roam HD if anyone wants to buy... Used for 5 mins at Xmas and put away again. What's the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Z Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 go pro all the way. I would suggest hero 2 for occasional use, good price now its been succeeded. Hero 3 is obviously just better, picture quality and features. you can even operate it through wireless, using smart phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
