Hello everybody!

(I'm not sure if I have to put this thread in Video or if here is just fine

)

I've been looking for a nice sportscam, not too expensive but still good image quality... It's just to have fun with, no vlogging or stuff. Just filming while ridin' around, or on vacation (since we are planning to go to spain with the bikes this summer). Not going for GoPro since it's way too expensive (for me) if I buy all the mounts and accessoires I'd like.

Now this came across my path... http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/d...-action-camera The "Drift HD" camera (I'm from Belgium so no need to order from revzilla). Looked up some videos on youtube, quality seems fine, and it's affordable for me!

I'm looking for some opinions about the camera.

I planned on getting this too, since it's not in the box but very usefull on a bike:

TOTAL PRICE (includes shipping, the extra mount and memory card): €260 what should be 347.19 USD (if my coverter is correct).

Worth it or not?

My alternative is the AEE Magicam CD21 Motorsports edition that is slightly more expensive than this Drift HD...

Thanks in advance for your opinion!
