    Far better value for money than GO PRO (but then everything is better than go pro). Its all about marketing. Unfortunately this is not ideal for biking. It needs to be designed like a BULLET camera for so many obvious reasons. It could be done rather easily. The designers just dont think !!

      I do agree that the design is less than perfect for our usage but the bigger market dictates the design we get.
