I'll let you know once Ive used it, only received it at the weekend and have just got the memory card for it today.
I have heard that its not wise to use the handlebar mount, as any change in steering angle is caught on camera and can lead to motion sickness when replaying it

No monitoring facilities. You have no idea what you have videoed until you download it.
Handlebar mounting is very odd. It doesn't convey the riders experience at all or the motion particularly well.
Helmet mounting is much more interesting. It shows the riders reaction to the terrain etc.
I wish that the lens had more of a wide angle POV. That would make things much more dynamic and show more of what was happening - capturing arm and handlebar control movements for example.
All in all though - it's great. It does everything it says on the tin and costs pence.

A new set of alloys for my E class. I put 19" AMG alloys on it october last year & ever since i have been replacing tyres & even had the wheels refurbed. They are shockingly soft.
So downgraded to 18" ones & have just ordered them off fleabay, no doubt another stupid purchase but at £200 a tyre (conti's) & its only £400 for the new alloys in sh*tty rubber then at least i'll see the winter out with them & maybe, just maybe get rid of it as its only used for work.
Sorry for the rant, having to change a tyre with two kids in the car after panto made me a bit

I don't have kids so bought myself a Kubota compact tractor 
4x4's are bad news? What with the Kubota, the Honda quad, my GB270 wagon and the missus's workhorse Freelander, that's 4 4x4's in the garage now
