Default $30 - not a bad multi mount video recorder

I saw this on eBay </title><meta name="description" content="HD720P 2.5" LCD Car DVR Vehicle Camera Video Recorder in Consumer Electronics , Home Surveillance , Digital Video Recorders, Cards |eBay"><meta name="keywords" content="HD720P 2.5" LCD Car DVR Vehicle Camera

Not too shabby for $30 & free shipping.
Just thought some may like to see something other than a GoPro & at a lot less $$$ & the 120 degree veiwing angle is pretty decent.

BUT it is from over there & yeah you may be taking a small chance. But even still for a dash mount video recorder that you can watch & don't have to mess with - for $30 = Hell Yeah!
I may order one & let you know how it is watching etc on a witto wee 2.5" display lol My Samsung Galaxy has an almost 5" display & that's my phone! So the veiwing is small but playback should be decent in 1080 x 720.

Just an FYI for you.

Chris: well yeah it's no GoPro but it is VERY cheap & does have a bunch of mounts, records in different qualities, you can watch it on the witto wee screen but did I mention cheap? No GoPro for sure but for budget minded ppl it'll give them a way of recording & us a view at that... IMO

John from NYolk: I agree, they are just too damn popular & do what they do too damn well. they'd be idiots to drop the price with all the popularity they have in extreme markets.

They are great! No (as the GF mocks me) doot aboot it! I don't talk like that lol. $300 for a GoPro is good & what is the market for them, then there's the pro models.... I haven't gone there because.. well yeah $$$. I'd spend $30 on this recorder on ebay & get something other than spending $300 on a GoPro for better video, more stable etc & take the $ I saved & put it towards umm gas lol or what it needs to be road & off road worthy. The vids can follow after it's ready but I'd still get vids from my cell or camera... just not mounted like a GoPro or as good. Cest la vie!

Speaking of money, you've got to be bummed aboot putting the blazer to (registration) rest right now. I know I would be.

Have you or are you close to having the Bronco Bronx Bitch on the road yet? BTW Bronx Bitch is a copyright from me for a rotti/great dane I had Bronx was her name & she was the most awsome, gente HUGE bitch you'd not want to run into when she's in a bad mood kind of dog. Total sweetheart of a dog, a rotti or rotti cross I'd trust at my mothers & awsome.

You may call your Bronco The Bronx Bitch (NY thing lol) if you like (you're a good enough person to do her justice IMO). It'll do my Bronx justice. If you knew her, you'd understand. I miss her, g'night

And your light show under the hood... dist. is mounted OK, a bolt isn't loose?
Vacuum leak? Missed a line here or there? A wire for the distributor?

What timing.. the dist or just life timing?
