Pros: Affordable entry-level camera. Fairly easy to use with several mounting options.

Cons: Camera shake is difficult to control but is possible.

Recommendation: I've used this camera attached to my helmet for a few years. While camera shake can be a problem, it is possible to get a decent picture. And you can upgrade the memory to get over an hours worth of film. A good entry level camera.

Pros: Takes standard AA batteries.
Uses standard SD cards.
Waterproof.
Solid mount.

Cons: So-so resolution.
Grainy videos.
Heavy.
Very bad camera shake

Recommendation: I was pretty disappointed with this camera. It's almost impossible to control camera shake and the resolution is pretty weak.

Spend the extra and get a ContourHD or HE Helmet Hero.
