Good GoPro knockoff!
 
If anyone out there likes taking cruise videos and doesn't want to part with the big bucks that GoPro wants, Tiger Direct has a very good knock off that works great for $40! I have been using this for about 6 months and can't tell the difference from my GoPro.

That looks like a pretty good buy to me. If I didn't already have a Gop Pro setup I would sure try it.

Nice, but looks to be video only, no sound.

I found a review that described the sound quality, so yes, it's got a microphone built in.

Larry,
Does it have a jack port for a remote mic? I was looking at it online last night and did not see one.

Is the waterproof case included? What mounting does it use, i.e. can you use regular GoPro accessories?

It's waterproof. No case needed. (The new GoPros are also waterproof without a case)

Our local pool supply place was selling these.

Does it come with a bracket, ie roll bar, or can it be adapted to use the GoPro bracket?

If you look at the pictures in the original link you will see it enclosed in some kind of housing that includes the 2+3 prong mount with tension knob that looks like the GoPro mount connector. Their site may give more insight into compatibility with the GoPro mounts but it looks like it might work.

Amazon has it for 29.95 and if you don't like it send it back

Note::: This site's "grab links for money" is sending the above link to Walmart. Anything for a buck.

It does have sound and the case is like the first gen GoPro.
It uses the same mount as GoPro so all the accessories work with it.
I use multiple cameras at times to get front, rear and maybe a on side tire shot!
Works good with my old iPhone 5.
Can't be beat for the price.

I run one in my 1933 willys, car runs 7 seconds at 180mph, the sound and video are great. I mounted it to the roll bar. When i mounted it on the outside of car it would make the camera point down to the ground when i started picking up speed, other than that it is a really good buy!

Bought one yesterday through Amazon. Got the $44.00 one with all the extra stuff. Should arrive tomorrow .

Mike I 05-19-2018 01:38 PM

Received mine yesterday, appears to be well made. No micro SD card included, so can't tell you how well it works until I get one.

I think it'll probably want "Class 10" or higher, walmart has 32GB & 64GB cards for about the best price around. Or, depending on where you live you might be able to get one from Amazon overnight.

Mike I 05-20-2018 07:16 AM

Yes, manual specifies class 10. Planning to pick some up at Wal-Mart today or tomorrow.
