    Not cheap or small enough … Mobius is the way to go.

    Anyone got some footage to share?
    What are they like in low light conditions?
    Might come in handy for those night rides where you stumble across a dogging spot..

    Picked one up yesterday for Abigale to take on her Alps adventure. Ordered the mount fron Ebay to use the Go Pro stuff but not sure the chest mount will fit. Need to get her a card for it. Whats the maximum it will take and where’s the best place to get them from.

    Mine takes a 32Gb, and I was lazy & bought it from Argos for £17 or so.

    Decided not to look on ebay to see how cheaply it could have been bought!§

    Has this ship sailed, can’t find stock anywhere ?

    I was surprised to find stock when I looked on Friday – no surprises that they’ve been snapped up.

    I have been trying to find out the minimum requirements for the memory card.

    Any one know what data speed requirements there are of the class 10 card?

    Looking on 7dayshop I can get a sandisk 32gb 30MB/s card for £13.24 but the next speed up from that is the 80MB/s and that one is a whopping £31.99

    The only pics I have seen have had the Sony M2 card rather than a micro SD and that was a 40MB/ card.

    I’m not convinced they’re all been snapped up. They went from available in all 10 of the nearest Argos to me to zero availability. Seems more like a rethink by Argos.

    I’ve just searched all London stores, can’t find any. Anyone know of any stock?

    Ah – that is possible I guess – exactly the same happened here. That or there’s something funny about the way they’re showing stock for this.

    I rang the helpline.
    I think one in Pontadarwe? one in Stornoway and all of Ireland have stock.

    Oh well…

    I just ordered mine off their website for delivery rather than a specific store.

    It says none available for home delivery, collect in store only. Did you order yours last week?

    I didn’t spot that part. I ordered it on Saturday. Initially I got a message saying I’d receive an order confirmation within 24hrs, which I did with an order conformation number. I selected delivery on Tuesday (it cost an extra £2.99) so I guess I’ll find out tomorrow if it arrives.

    I think when they run out of stock at the warehouse, they don’t drag in branch stock, they just let it sell out, hence the stock being left in stores in the arse end of nowhere (no offence!). I have an AS15 already and have bought the new lightweight casing. Adapted it to take GoPro mounts etc and a custom modified chest harness. I just wanted the GPS feature of the AS30. I’m actually readying my AS15 for sale soon (any offers?). I want the AS100!

    Good quality footage. Cannock looks like it sucks though. Needs a fat bike that does.

    @Rusty-Mac – any Class 4 or above card will be fine, I’m using an old 32gb class 4 card in mine and it’s perfect.

    how much footage can u fit on the 32gb cards?

    kneebiscuit
    Free Member

    I only have an 8gb card and it reckons it can fit 1hr20 of 1080p @ 60fps. So 4-5 hrs at a guess on a 32gb card.

    blu386

    My 32gb says 4 hours 25 mins in 1080p or 11 hours in 720

    That’s mine just arrived today. The Argos stock labels clearly says AS15 but it is, indeed, an AS30.

    Touched it to my new (Sony) phone with NFC and it automatically downloaded the Android software. one password later and I have a remote view for the camera 🙂

    Bought one of these on Friday. Not sure if I’ll use it much though now. As it’s excluded from argos money back guarantee, I would sell if I can get my money back.

    It’s been opened and tested indoors for 1 minute.

    If anyone’s struggling to get hold of one, I’ll do it for £100 posted or £120 posted with a brand new 32gb sandisk ultra micro sd.

    How does the camera link to the phone when your out on the trail

    It uses WiFi direct.

    Thanks. Does that mean I can use it abroad with the internet on my phone turned off or will I end up with a big bill.

    I’m hoping I’m not missing irony here…

    Wifi Direct disables normal wifi. Maybe take your sim card out when abroad because airplane mode disables all wifi.
