Haven't come across those before. Anyone used one?

I bought the SJCAM SJ4000 just before Christmas.

Only used it a couple of times but very happy with it so far. Video quality is very good in decent light and far from terrible in low light. It comes with a ton of accessories and spare batteries are cheap as chips too.

From my limited experience it's probably as close as you'll get to official Go Pro quality at less than a third of the price.

Just be wary as there as some fakes floating around on Ebay, better paying a few quid extra to ensure you're getting a legit unit.

Anyway, well chuffed with mine and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone who wants to shoot some action video on a budget. I'll try and see if I can upload some sample video when I get a moment.

I used one when I recently went to the Paris Catacombs 2 weeks ago. Came out pretty well, here's a link to my video (all was shot on a SJ4000).

As said above, there's a fair few fakes around. I'd recommend getting it from the official supplier:

I have one, its as good as the old go-pro i have used. The little screen makes all the difference although i think up to date go pros have them now too? I need to use mine more! I took it to the cattas but didnt get it out when it mattered like usual!

I'm going to get one in a few weeks, seems to be some easy ways to tell real vs fakes

Just bought the SJ4000 with WiFi model from FoxOffer, worked out at about £65.00

It has good reviews across the internet and at that price is worth a go. Will let you know how it turns out.

Let me know for sure mate!

We'll have to do something together this year also!

Looks like pretty good quality from watching Jimmy's video.

 

[mrwhite]

Wow all good reviews for the fraction of the price of the real deal

 

[Derelict-UK]

This is the best one the company does... http://www.banggood.com/SJcam-SJ500...5-FHD-60FPS-Sport-Action-Camera-p-954732.html

A lot of camera (including a built in preview screen) for your money.

Dealextreme have the SJ5000 for US$89: http://www.dx.com/p/amkov-sj5000-14...m&utm_campaign=en20150119cameras#.VL0EttKUeSo

Not sure if it's the real deal or a copy however.

 

[ledgehammer]

quick question, can it be mounted without the helmet, i.e like a head torch. Its got a strap and looks like it can...

 

[Boomstick84]

Yes, it can be mounted on either a head strap or chest mount. Both attachment clips (along with a load of others) come with it. You'd have to buy the straps separately but they're cheap enough on Ebay
