I was at Bike Park Wales yesterday (which is much fun I might add) and used the camera all day. The best setting is indeed the 60fps mode and that’s what the video below was shot in. I chose this video as its got the open expanse at the top of the hill and then some woodland so you can see how it copes in both light conditions (although its not particularly dense woodland I admit).
For some reason the playback from youtube is a lower quality than watching it direct from my PC. I don’t know why…

My thoughts:
The helmet cam mount sits quite high on a stalk so tends to wobble your head a bit so a more direct form of mounting would help there to further improve comfort and video quality – I don’t see this mod being too complicated.
The chest cam is a better view point (imo) but it points at the bars almost all the time so the mount will need some packing on the underside to change the angle – no great drama but additional effort required.
For £60 I’m fairly happy with it, its clearly not as good as a go-pro but good enough for me – I’m not going to be mass-producing gnarly videos anytime soon!
