Default Cheap GoPro Knockoff

Reviews looked pretty good and I got it for $38s shipped with coupon code KMZ54DKR. Not sure how long the deal will last but wanted to let others in on the deal if they are interested.

Do you like it? Seems like the only negative was the audio recording.

I got a Emerson version for $18 which included a bar mount and helmet mount. It has the same spec's as the $119 lowest GoPro model.

Work's great. As with the low end GoPro you must provide your own memory card. But for GoPro you pay extra for the mounts. I got a 32G mini card for $17 at Walmart.


Dollar General had them. It was a Black Friday special. Normal price is $39.95.

Don't know much about them but I do have a lot of experience in the CCTV business. Number one thing to watch out for is the lens. Quality cameras use glass lenses whereas cheapo or knockoff cameras use plastic lenses, and the really cheap ones use a clear plastic ball as a poor substitute for a lens. Ymmv.

Here is a side by side review with image comparisons to the GoPro. This one is a couple years old and it is compared against the GoPro 3

Overall looks pretty good especially for that price

Just bought one. Prices have shifted a little bit. Cheapest option was the silver one, $40.99 shipped with the coupon code.

Looks like it would be worth trying on an up-coming road trip.
