[Closed] Headcam - cheap alternative to GoPro
A relative has suggested that they'd like a headcam to use while cycling. Knowing nothing about the subject I Googled the only name I know which is Gopro. After I got back up off the floor I started to wonder if there are actually decent cheap alternatives. So I came here to ask the folk who know....
Google GoPro copy
Good idea!! Argos seems to be the place to go
I have been using an [url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01JS00NFE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ]Apeman purchased from Amazon[/url] this week. I am struggling to see any downsides when comparing the footage with my genuine GoPro that was also in use in the same setting
Polaroid cube, or if you're feeling generous a cube plus.
SJCam here - 2 M10's and an M20 - the M10's can be got quite cheap at about £30 and the M20 is about £90 and very good.

There was on sale in Morrison's today right at the front of the store. Dunno what it's like but about an 8th of the price
I got my lad a Thieye T5 and its pretty good + comes with a helmet mount, waterproof case and various bits pretty cheap too.
ION and Rollie is what i use, loads on amazon, look for run time and waterproof,best fixed to handlebars, helmet mounts are a pain, as they snap off in contact with low trees or doorways.
Cylinder ones are lower profile as well.
I bought a DBPower EX5000 from Amazon. It is a copy of an earlier GoPro, with a WiFi link. I have been impressed for something bought on a whim for under £30.
I saw the morrisons one today too. £40. Looks like a go pro. Wifi, screen, 4k ultra HD. Same mounting system as a go pro, full waterproof case, sd card, looked a real bargain (if you wanted one)
Has anyone tried one yet?
Sports pursuit are selling the shimano action cam for £69
